Mahi Mahi Pita Sandwich

I am still on this healthy cooking kick, plus I am trying to teach our 7 year old that he really doesn't hate fish. Of all the types of fish out there, my favorite is mahi mahi and catfish. Catfish is great if you are doing heavy sauces, intense spicing, or breading, but if you want to have just a nice piece of pan seared fish the mahi mahi is the go to. It has a real light, delicate flavor although it can get fishy so make sure you buy some that you can smell test before buying. Fish is the one place you don't want pre-packaged.

There are actually 2 parts to this sandwich, a quick tarter sauce and the sandwich itself. If you don't want to do the sauce, by some over the counter Aoli to put on it. Also, lettuce, sprouts, or even spring onion can substitute for the cabbage.

Quick Dill Tarter Sauce

• 1/4 cup Mayo
• 1/8 cup Dijon Mustard
• Sweet Pickle Relish
• Dill
• Lemon Juice
• Minced Garlic

This is pretty easy. Combine the mayo, mustard, and a spoon full or 2 of the relish (try to get more juice then relish if you can), and a healthy dash of lemon juice, a small spoonful of the garlic, and a healthy dash of dill (and season with salt & pepper of course). Mix together and taste. You may need to play with the amounts to get it to taste where you want it. Put in the fridge to chill.

Mahi Mahi Sandwich

• 3/4lb Mahi Mahi
• Lemon Juice
• Tarragon, Fine Chop
• Bread (Pita, Sandwich, Tortilla)
• Cabbage, Rough Chop
• Additional Toppings (Onion, Tomato, etc)

But the Mahi into edible chunks, season, and very lightly brown on both sides on med. heat. Reduce heat to low, add tarragon, a small amount of lemon juice, and a little garlic powder if you have it. Cook very slow on low heat, it should take about 12 or so min to cook all the way through. Turn at the half way point.

If you want other veggies such as saute onions or diced tomato, prepare that along with chopping up the cabbage while you wait for the fish to cook. When the fish is done, add it, the tarter sauce, and all of your veggies to the bread of your choice. That's it, pretty easy.
