Herbed Lemon-Pomegranate Mahi Mahi

This week I had a fresh pomegranate for the first time. I know that probably sounds crazy but I had only eaten pomegranate flavored things before, never an actual pomegranate. At first, I struggled with peeling it correctly and getting all the good stuff out. Once I had all the seeds out, I could not stop snacking even though I knew I needed them for this recipe! I found this recipe from Clean Eating magazine on the Kahakai Kitchen blog.

This recipe is a very light and healthy recipe, perfect for after a huge Thanksgiving break! The lemon and pomegranate add a tangy flavor to the fish, while the beans add a nice smooth, almost creamy feeling. Pomegranates are in season right now so it is the perfect time to make this dish!

Lemon-Pomegranate Mahi Mahi with White Beans

    Wow – I love mahi mahi, and lemon is ideal with almost any fish, but I wouldn’t ever think of pomegranate seeds! The color is gorgeous, and I bet it’s a very holiday-appropriately flavored dish. 🙂 Wonderful idea!

    This is such a beautiful way to make mahi mahi. I love pomegranates, and I bet the seeds gave it a great burst of flavor as well as a nice crunch. I’m pinning this so I can remember to try this one on fish! Great post!

    Whenever I need a pomegranate for a recipe, I always buy, too. One guaranteed for the recipe amount and the other for snacking while I make everything, hehe. I love them…so addictive!

    I bet lemon and pomegranate are a brilliant combination. This whole things sounds fantastic!

    That looks so delicious. The pomegranates make this special I think. I used to eat pomegranates right off the tree all the time when I lived in Texas.

    I’ve never been a huge fan of fish and I am always trying to find recipes that would make fish seem more appealing to me. This one sure hits the spot, it looks mouthwatering! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    That looks absolutely beautiful
