This is really fast to cook after you’ve made the zucchini noodles, so have all ingredients ready when you turn on the stove. I used mahi mahi (grilled on the Weber) and it was delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. mahi mahi fillets (or halibut or swordfish fillets, etc.)
- 3 medium zucchini, spiralized (I use the orange blade on my OXO spiralizer)
- 2 large cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of one small lemon
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking. Place zoodles in large bowl and sprinkle with about a 1/2 tsp. salt. Toss to distribute salt throughout, and place in a colander to drain. (I like to let the salted zucchini drain for about 30 minutes.)
- Preheat grill.* Pat fish with paper towel to absorb any extra liquid (especially if frozen) and coat with olive oil. Generously season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Once the grill is at 425 degrees, turn heat down to medium, add fish. Close lid. Cook three minutes, turn fish, cook two minutes, remove from grill. (I cook the zucchini while fish is cooking.)
- Place butter, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice in pan, turn on med/high heat. Saute for two minutes. Pour half of the sauce into a small bowl, reserve for later.
- Squeeze zucchini in a clean dishtowel to remove excess liquid. Add zucchini to pan and toss in butter garlic mixture. If zucchini seems a little dry add a bit more olive oil. Add half the parsley. Cook for 3-4 minutes, tossing here and there. Don’t overcook or zoodles will get mushy. Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and walnuts. Toss.
- Plate zoodles and place fish on top. Spoon reserved garlic butter sauce over fish and sprinkle remaining parsley on top.
*If the BBQ is not available, place pan on cooktop on med/high heat. Add olive oil to cover bottom of pan, brown each side (approx. 3 minutes each side) until cooked through.
