Mahi-Mahi in Herbed Wine Sauce                      

This healthy meal is what I call “figure-friendly comfort food”

Yield:                          2 servings

Prep Time:                 45 minutes

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. olive oil

2 Yukon Gold Potatoes (washed, and cubed)

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 bunch leeks, washed and chopped

2 Roma tomatoes. seeded and chopped into bite-sized pieces

2- 4oz. pieces of mahi-mahi

½ cup dry white wine (I like a Bordeaux)

1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

Handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, marjoram, and chives

1 Bay leaf

salt and pepper, to taste

1 bag of baby spinach

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚; toss potato cubes with 1 tbsp. olive oil, salt and pepper; roast in oven for 30-45 minutes (until golden).
• While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the leek broth: Sauté chopped leeks in olive oil over low heat, until leeks are soft (approximately 10 minutes).  Add broth, wine, and lemon juice; bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer; add tomatoes, herbs, and bay leaf; simmer for 30 minutes; adjust seasoning.
• Salt and pepper mahi-mahi.  Over medium-high heat, sear 2-3 minutes per side in olive oil.
• Pour sauce over fish; cover; simmer 6-8 minutes.
• While fish is simmering, steam spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
• Place fish, potatoes, and spinach on a large serving plate; pour sauce and leeks over top; garnish with fresh herbs and lemons.
