Seared mahi mahi with spinach ravioli and fresh broccoli

I had planned on making a family favorite for dinner tonight but while we were out John spotted some fresh fish. Once I spotted what fish he was looking at I decided to throw my original plans out the window. I'm not a huge fan of most fish but absolutely LOVE mahi mahi. It had a wonderful natural flavor that's not overpowering. Once I realized how he was planning on cooking it (throwing it in the oven in some tin foil and lots of spices and veggies) I promptly took over. 

I heated up a large frying pan with a little bit of olive oil and let it get nice and hot before throwing both huge fillets in. Once seared on the one side I flipped it over to sear the other side. Turned the heat down to medium-low and let it cook all the way through. I sprinkled a pinch of kosher salt over each and some fresh ground pepper and let it simmer away while I cooked the rest of the food. 

The oven got preheated to 350F and went to cut up some of my homemade bread for the garlic bread. Just spread a little butter on the bread, generously sprinkle garlic power over the top, place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and 10-15 min later it's done and delicious. 

I found some wonderful organic spinach and cheese ravioli that I cooked up to go along with our dinner and because I was in a veggie mood I steamed some fresh broccoli as well. 

John wanted some sautéed peppers and onions to go with his fish so while everything else was cooking I pulled out a second frying pan, added a little bit of olive oil and sautéed the peppers and onions he had chopped for me. 

I made up his plate and one for me that had the peppers and onions on the side and tucked in to my yummy meal. Before John could try a bit with all the peppers and onions I gave him a bite of my plain fish and sat back and enjoyed as his eyes went wide and he exclaimed "Wow, that tastes really good!!" He also enjoyed the fish with the added veggies as well. 

I have a feeling that sometime soon he will be surprising me with more Mahi Mahi to make for him for dinner. 

He laughs at the fact that I'd look at him strange if he ever brought me flowers but get happy over cooking and baking ingredients and cookware and accessories. It's part of what makes me who I am and neither of us would change that one bit. 

As always I look forward to hearing what you have to say. 

Until next time,
