Mahi-Mahi with Mushrooms and Vermouth
This recipe modified from AOL’s Cod with Mushrooms and Vermouth was hands down, the best meal I made this week. Simple, but elegant. The mahi-mahi was tender and so moist.
I served it with roasted broccoli and a dinner roll. Healthy, light and easy to make. This recipes serves two, but that’s two 6 oz servings.

Serves 2
2 tbsp olive oil
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup dry vermouth
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
12 ounces cod, filet into two portions
1 small shallot, chopped
In nonstick skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot and cook for two minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring only occasionally, until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the vermouth, parsley, the vinegar, salt, and pepper to your taste and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat, lightly season the mahi mahi with salt and pepper and add it to the pan, covering with mushrooms.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reduce heat and cover. Simmer until just cooked through 7 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the fish to serving plates or a platter. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve sprinkled with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of parsley.
