Mahi Mahi

Inspired with modification from:

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds wild-caught mahi mahi fillets (this recipe also works with salmon)
  • coconut oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • fresh ground himalayan salt (or any other sea, rock, mineral salt)
  • diced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • raw coconut aminos (similar to soy sauce but soy sauce isn't Primal)
  • balsamic vinegar (drizzle over fish)
  • 1 finely chopped white onion
  • dukkah (an almond spice blend)
You can replace dukkah with almond flour, but it will be less crunchy, you could try adding diced almonds to the almond flour for more crunch. If you want to home make dukkah, here are the ingredients in the bottle I use: finely diced almonds, sesame seeds, fennel seeds, coriander, anise seeds and salt.

How to make it
  • Preheat oven to 425F, melt coconut oil in baking dish inside the oven while it is heating.

----> This recipe also works at 450F in a toaster oven on the "bake". It also works on a skillet.
  • Rinse fish, pat dry and put in a baking dish covered in melted coconut oil.
  • Drizzle balsamic vinegar and optionally coconut aminos on the fish, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Spread diced garlic and chopped onions on fish.
  • Sprinkle with dukkah generously to cover the top.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over it. I use a knife to scrape the inside of the lemon peel and I personally don't fret over removing all of the lemon seeds. I simply spit the seeds out if I happen upon them when eating. If you have young and strong Paleo kids though, you might want to remove them.
  • Bake at 425F for 25 minutes or until it flakes easily.
  • You can turn the fish fillets over half way through and you can use the lemon peel as decoration on top or you can use them in your herbal teas.

Let's offer thanks and praises to our Generous Bountiful Creator, the Creator of the oceans and the fish within them, the Razzaq (the One who provides nutrition to all living beings) who allows the fish we eat to be nutritious and tasty and satiating to our bodies and the one who Creates the cooked fish from the raw fish and the fire. Alhamdulillah!
