Mahi With Citrus (Phase 1)
Description
Mahi
mahi is a sturdy fish that stands up well to pan or grill cooking. Whatever way
you choose to cook it, the tangy citrus and toasty garlic flavors will come
through beautifully. Turn leftovers into Mahi Mahi Salad by adding chopped
cucumber and scallion and one or two teaspoons of mayo; on later Phases, you
can serve it on a crisp slice of whole-grain toast.
