Pan-Seared Mahi Mahi over Cauliflower Coconut “Rice” and Baked Spaghetti Squash

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free, Low-Carb, Paleo

Ingredients

4 Wild Mahi Mahi filets, rinsed and patted dry

2 Tbsp Organic Coconut Oil

½ tsp Dill

Dash Himalayan Sea Salt, to taste

½ tsp All Purpose Seasoning Mix (I prefer Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute or Bragg’s Organic Sprinkle 24 Herbs and Spices Seasoning)

1 medium Spaghetti Squash

For Coconut “Rice”:  Follow recipe for Cauliflower Coconut “Rice” 

Optional:  Bragg’s Organic Hawaiian Fat Free Dressing and Marinade

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Cut spaghetti squash length-wise down the middle and clean out “guts”. Place squash on baking pan, cut side down, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
3. In a separate pot, prepare Cauliflower Coconut Rice according to recipe.
4. Make sure the spaghetti squash is cooked completely before starting the fish.
5. In a large sauté pan over medium heat add coconut oil. Once hot, add mahi mahi. Season each filet with dill, sea salt and all-purpose seasoning.
6. Cook mahi mahi for 5-7 minutes, flipping each filet after 4 minutes. The fish will flake when done.
7. When spaghetti squash is done, remove from oven. Take a fork and “loosen” the strands so it looks like spaghetti noodles. Place a bed of squash noodles on a plate.
8. Next, add a ½ – 1 cup of the cauliflower “rice” on top of the noodles.
9. Finally, top with a filet of pan seared mahi mahi. Garnish with your favorite fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, or fresh mango slices.
10. TIP: For an extra interesting flavor, I drizzle a little Bragg’s Organic Hawaiian Fat Free Dressing and Marinate and a pinch of sea salt over the dish before serving. It enhances the flavors.
