Lemon-Pomegranate Mahi Mahi
November 30, 2011
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!
