Mahi Mahi & Vegetable Medley w/ Lemon Basil Vinaigrette

March 26, 2011 15 comments Article Main Course, Recipes, Sauces, Seafood, Vegetables

After hearing about my plan to eat healthier, many of you voiced your desires for me to continue posting my comfort food posts. As much as I would love to be able to eat like that every day and not gain a hundred pounds, I can’t; but there is no need to worry! I stand before you with a recipe to prove that healthy can be just as delicious as all of my comfort food recipes.

This recipe is filled with nutritious vegetables and healthy fish, no cheese or empty carbs here, but I can guarantee that it has more flavor than most meals. I chose not to eat a starch with this meal, but it would go very well with a jasmine rice or white rice. The vinaigrette adds a delicious citrusy bang to the vegetables and fish.

Also!— I am happy to announced that there is finally a print button for my posts. Sorry it took me so long to figure out how to do that! You can find a button at the bottom right of each post, hope this helps you try my recipes more easily. =)

    I don’t often cook fish, but I might give this one a try. Thanks!

    Your fish and vegetables look delicious. I’m not a huge fish eater but if I can pair it with something tasty, I’m able to eat it right up!

    I love the mahi mahi combination with the taste of asparagus; two tastes that work very well together … congrats on your healthier choices… btw if you like asparagus, check out my soup and tell me what you think.

    Ive always wanted to toy with mahi mahi in my own kitchen, but its always so expensive around here. This does look great though, and I love a crunchy vegetable medley with fish. Mmm

    Very nice! This is my kind of recipe. I cook healthy all the time too, but a chorizo and cheese taco now and then is the bomb!

    You just inspired me! I have all of those vegetables sitting in my fridge and am actually thawing out a fish fillet right now. Didn’t know how or what I was going to create until now. Thanks!
