Ingredients
- 2 8-ounce mahi mahi filets (or any other firm fish filet such as halibut, tilapia, salmon, etc)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt + 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 batch dairy free pesto
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees with the oven in the middle rack.
- Pat the fish dry, and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil.
- Sear the fish for 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Flip the fish, then top each filet with a heaping tablespoon (or more depending on the size of your filets) of the dairy free pesto.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven, and cook until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees, about 7-10 minutes depending on how thick your fish filet is.
- Remove from the oven, and serve warm. I like serving mine with cauliflower rice and an in season vegetable.
