Mahi-Mahi with Roasted Mango Chipotle Sauce

Observation: The
mahi-mahi fillets release liquid as they bake. This is normal and does not harm
the final results. However, to minimize the amount of liquid mingling with the
mango while it roasts, simply arrange the mahi-mahi and the fruit on opposite
sides of the sheet pan with the red onion positioned in between to create a
barrier.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
4 6-oz. mahi-mahi fillets
2 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
2 large mangos, peel removed, and diced
½ large red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 T. fresh thyme leaves
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1/8 t. chipotle pepper
Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish
Directions:
1. Place
top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 400°F. Line a large,
rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or a Silpat™ baking sheet. Set aside.
2. Add
the mahi-mahi to the sheet pan and drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil on top.
Use a pastry brush to spread the oil evenly over the surface of the fillets.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, to taste.
3. Arrange
the diced mango on the same baking sheet in a single layer without
overcrowding.
4. Add
the red onion wedges and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Spread the oil
with a pastry brush until the onion is completely coated. Top the fillets and
the onion with most of the fresh thyme leaves and season with salt and black
pepper, to taste.
5. Place
the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the
mahi-mahi is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven and
transfer to a plate. Set aside and keep warm.
6. Transfer
the roasted mango to a blender or food processor and place the onions back in
the oven to roast for several more minutes while you prepare the mango sauce.
7. Add
the fresh lemon juice, chipotle powder, and a few fresh thyme leave to the
blender or food processer with the roasted mango. Season with salt and black
pepper, to taste, and pulse until smooth.
8. Remove
the onions from the oven and divide between four serving plates. Top the onions
with a baked mahi-mahi fillet and some of the roasted mango chipotle sauce.
Garnish with sprigs of fresh thyme, if desired, and serve immediately with your
choice of sides. Enjoy!
