Seared Mahi Mahi with Hash, Soft Egg and Hollandaise

Written By: Chris - Apr• 12•14

The mahi-mahi or common dolphinfish is a surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore temperate, tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Also known widely as dorado, it is one of two members of the Coryphaenidae family, the other being the pompano dolphinfish.  The majority of Mahi-mahi’s calories come from protein fluidsim herunterladen.  The protein provides all the amino acids you need to make enzymes essential for cellular metabolism, produce hemoglobin required for oxygen transport and support healthy muscle tissue.  This fish has a sweet pronounced flavor, large moist flakes and a smooth texture, which makes it a versatile fish to grill, pan-fry, bake or steam.  It is a great source of vitamin B12, phosphorus, potassium, protein, niacin, vitamin B6, and selenium herunterladen.

We recently purchased some that we had shipped over night from Washington and I’ve been looking for new ways to prepare it.  I was hungry for hash and after watching the Pioneer Woman on the Food Network, I discovered Hollandaise sauce can be made easily in the blender.  It is a sauce that begins with lemon juice and butter base, and is emulsified with the addition of egg yolks.  It is typically challenging to make with a whisk, so give this method a try for a special treat herunterladen!

Cook the Mahi Mahi google tabellen download kostenlos.  Bill and I like it blackened and it is best to use a cast iron skillet to blacken fish, but you can also use a non-stick frying pan. Most blackened fish recipes call for dipping fish fillets in melted butter and generously coating with blackening seasoning, but I used seasoned olive oil with lemon.

The secret to a perfectly blackened mahi-mahi fish fillet is to make certain the pan is just starting to smoke prior to cooking fillets and to flip fish only once during the cooking process vavoo.to. Mahi fillets need to cook eight to ten minutes per inch of thickness. Once cooked, transfer the fish onto the potatoes while you prepare the Hollandaise.

To prepare the Hollandaise, melt the butter slowly in a small pot, but don’t let it boil

Separate the eggs and place them into the blender quicktime player für mac download kostenlos. Turn the blender on low to allow the yolks to combine, then begin pouring the very hot butter in a thin stream into the blender. The blender should remain on the whole time, and your should be careful to pour in the butter very slowly.

Immediately begin squeezing lemon juice into the blender. You should use the juice of one lemon. And check the blender to make sure the sauce is still liquidy and moving easily through the blades prime video auf computer herunterladen. If it’s not, add a little more juice and give it a stir, then blend again.

Add the cayenne and blend. Turn off the blender and taste the sauce. It should be buttery, lemony and just lightly salty. If it is not salty or lemony enough, you can adjust the lemon juice or salt to taste.  Store until needed in a warm spot, like on or next to the stovetop and use within an hour or so skyp kostenlos herunterladen deutsch.

Last, prepare the fried eggs and assemble by stacking the fish and eggs onto the hash.  Bill doesn’t like mushrooms, so I leave them off of his plate.  Drizzle the  Hollandaise sauce season with a bit of fresh ground black pepper!
