Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup olive oil, divided
2 (4 ounce) fillets mahi mahi
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt to taste
1 pinch ground white pepper
1 ¾ cups milk
1 (1.2 ounce) package creamy pesto sauce mix
4 ounces fresh crabmeat
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat a small amount of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season mahi mahi with oregano, salt, and white pepper; cook in skillet until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes per side.
  • While fish cooks, whisk remaining olive oil, milk, and creamy pesto sauce mix together in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring regularly, until it begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir crabmeat into the sauce.
  • Transfer cooked mahi mahi to plates and spoon sauce over the fish.

I'm going to try this recipe, but I'm going to make a few changes. I'm going to use a different type of fish and I'm going to add some vegetables.

This recipe is too expensive. I can't afford to buy all of the ingredients.

This dish was a disaster. The crab pesto was too salty and the mahi-mahi was overcooked.

The crab pesto was a bit bland, but the mahi-mahi was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but the flavors were all there. I would recommend using a lighter pesto next time.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The crab pesto was light and refreshing, and the mahi-mahi was flaky and moist.
