Mahi Mahi with Sour Cream & Onions

This is a simple and tasty fish dish, and can be made with low-fat sour cream and mayonnaise if you wish. Serve it with the same wine that you use in the cooking. We recommend eating this dish accompanied by a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs. skinned mahi mahi fillets (or any firm
    white fish, such as halibut)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut into four serving pieces. Place fish in a non-reactive baking dish and add wine. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, turning once. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise and green onion.

Drain most of the wine from fish, leaving enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Spread onion mixture over fish. Cover and bake in 450 degree oven for 10 minutes per each one inch thickness of the fish.

Halfway through cooking time, remove cover and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Garnish with lemon and parsley if desired, and serve with the wine that you used in the cooking.

Serves 4.
