Miso-Marinated Mahi Mahi
Looks boring, but this was an easy, healthy, and pretty tasty dinner. It’s been a long time since I cooked up a protein, starch, vegetable dinner. I’d written up a recipe for miso dressing for my EcoSalon gig the day I made this. I also had 1/2 cup of coconut milk, and some lemongrass, curry leaves, and makrud (you're not supposed to call them kaffir because it's a racial slur) lime leaves starting to die in the fridge from another recipe.
I can’t stand throwing anything away so I made a dinner that was a cultural mish mash but delicious all the same. I basically just marinated the fish in the dressing and then baked it at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. I cooked Massa brown rice with coconut milk replacing some of the water, and threw in some of the aromatic leaves and lemongrass to perfume it. To serve with the dinner, I sautéed some bok choy in the wok with garlic and that was that. If you want the recipe for the miso dressing click on the miso dressing link above and it wall take you to EcoSalon. You’ll also find other serving suggestions there.
