This definitely beats any restaurant or fast food version. Mahi mahi filets, homemade chips using our mandolin (no, not the instrument), and even homemade tarter sauce. So good! My hubby made this one night for us. I helped a little, but it was mainly him. I'm so glad I married someone who shares my love of food and cooking! The fish was pan seared in olive oil not fried, so this dish is healthier than a restaurant version. Even the chips were fried in just a little oil and have less salt than most chips. And I love the fact that he used "Wickles" in the tarter sauce instead of relish since we didn't have any. He's so creative. If you've never tried "Wickles" you should. They don't call them Wickedly Delicious Pickles for nothing.
IngredientsFish
2 Mahi Mahi filets (fresh or frozen)
black pepper, salt, and paprika for seasoning
2 Tbps of olive oil
Chips
2 small russet potatoes
vegetable oil for frying
seasoned salt
Tarter Sauce
1/3 cup of mayonaise
1 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 tsp of fresh parsley
1/2 tsp of ground black pepper
3 or 4 wickles finely chopped
1 green onion, chopped
DirectionsFor fish, heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. Lighlty season fish with salt and pepper and just a small dusting of paprika. Cook for a few minutes on both sides until cooked through. Depending on thickness of filet it takes just a few minutes per side.
For chips, wash potatoes and cut into very thin pieces using mandolin slicer (be careful, this is really sharp!). They should be about 1/8 inch or thin enough to be almost transparent. Fill pot with about 1/2 inch of oil and pre-heat over medium heat. Place slices into hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, and fry for a few minutes until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel covered plate. Sprinkle seasoned salt on top to taste.
Yes, this is a mandolin and should not be confused with the tiny guitar.
(This might actually be a little too thick, but still turned out pretty good!)
For tarter sauce, mix all ingredients together and enjoy!
