Seared Mahi-Mahi (or Tilapia) with Gazpacho Sauce
Hey San Antonio,
If you haven’t tried the Seared Ahi Tuna Recipe, you are missing out. I made it without the bread crumbs (of course, contest prep) and it was still amazing. Definitely check it out.
As promised, more body transformation and fat loss recipes! If you’ve read my nutritional guidelines, you know there’s a time for both carbs and fats. When clients explain how I break down my diets, people seem to be shocked that I don’t completely limit or eliminate one or the other.
Every meal (feeding) is protein based, and I don’t allow fat and carb combos in meals. Keep that in mind when making a submission. Calorie content is VERY secondary to this.
I haven’t tried this one, but it was submitted and sounded really good! Check it out!
Seared Mahi-Mahi (or Tilapia) with Gazpacho Sauce
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped English cucumbers (about 1/2 large)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped green onion
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
5 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (or more, to taste)
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped seeded serrano chilies or 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
4 (6-8 ounce) halibut fillets or tilapia fillets or mahi mahi fillets
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
6 ounces small cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved (use a mixture of yellow and red for more colour)
Directions
1 Combine cucumber, onions, cilantro, 4 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar, and chiles in processor. Using on/off turns, blend mixture until finely chopped. Transfer to bowl. Season with more vinegar, if desired, and salt and black pepper.
2 Sprinkle fish fillets on both sides with salt, pepper, and cumin. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook 5 minutes. Turn over, cover, and cook until fish is just opaque in center, 4 to 5 minutes.
3 Divide gazpacho sauce among 4 plates. Top each with 1 fish fillet. Scatter tomatoes atop and around fish and serve.
If I get time today, I have a few personal training and bodybuilding show relating updates I’d like to make.
