Garlic-Studded Mahimahi with Sage Butter

  • Back before we had children I used to do more advanced things in the kitchen like "studding" a nice fillet of fish with blanched garlic. I'm not sure what possessed me to tackle this again yesterday, along with a yummy risotto and loaded green salad, but it was almost worth that screaming baby attached to my leg once it was on the table! :)
  • You will definitely enjoy it without the screaming baby part.
  • Can I just interject that our sweet baby girl is ten and a half months old and STILL only has the 2 teeth she got at five months. That may explain the screaming!
This recipe is from Cooking Light magazine, oh about 7 years ago!

Garlic-Studded Mahimahi with Sage Butter

  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4 (6-ounce) mahimahi or other firm whitefish fillets
  • Cooking spray
  • 5 teaspoons butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 475°.
  2. Place garlic in a small saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Drain and cool slightly. Make several small slits on outside of fillets; stuff with garlic. Place fillets on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
  3. Combine butter, sage, salt, and pepper; spread evenly over fillets. Bake at 475° for 13 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
It's a feels fancy meal that really isn't all that fussy in the end--enjoy!
