Photo: Mahi Mahi with Mango-Vanilla Coulis Recipe
Ingredients
Coulis:
- 1 medium mango, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces to yield 1 1/4 cups, or 1 1/4 cups frozen and thawed mango pieces
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- One 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 vanilla bean, preferably Tahitian
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Fish:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Four 4-to-6-ounce mahi mahi or halibut fillets, each about 1/2-to-3/4-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
For the coulis: Combine the mango, orange juice, 1/4 cup water, ginger, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a small saucepan. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the saucepan using a paring knife. Add the empty vanilla pods. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, about 6 minutes. Remove and discard the vanilla pods. Whisk in the butter until smooth.
For the fish: Heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Sprinkle the fish with the salt and pepper on both sides. Cook the fish until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
Arrange the fish on a platter and spoon the coulis on top.

We loved the way the fish was prepared. The sauce was way too sweet. It seemed more like an ice cream sauce. If you don't like fish and want to only taste a sauce you will like it. If you do like fish stay away from the sauce.

I saw this recipe the other day on TV and couldn't get it off my mind. We made it tonight and were completely wowed, especially since we don't typically eat fish. It felt totally gourmet yet fairly simple given the finished appearance! Loved using a real vanilla bean. This recipe is a keeper!

This recipe is incredibly delicious! I have made it twice already and it turned out perfectly. I'm making this tonight for my son's birthday dinner and I can already taste it in my mind. It's one of those dishes that make you feel like you're dining in a very fine restaurant near the ocean somewhere. The flavors blend beautifully and for us, the first time we tasted it, was like discovering a brand new flavor that our palates had not yet experienced. Thank you for a wonderful recipe, Giada.
