Fennel Mahi Mahi with Leeks and Italian Tomatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 Mahi Mahi filets

  • 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, divided

  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp freshly-ground black pepper

  • 2 tsp Rumi Spice Whole Seed Fennel

  • 2 medium leeks (white part only), thinly sliced

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  • Chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

  2. Pat the Mahi Mahi filets dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.

  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (oven-safe) skillet over medium heat.

  4. Add in leeks and garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sauté until the leeks begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

  5. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes into the pan. Season with 1 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Let cook until warmed through and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Place the fish on top of the tomato leek mixture & sprinkle the fennel seeds over top.

  7. Transfer to the oven and bake until the fish is cooked through, tender and flakes easily with a fork, about 10-12 minutes.

  8. Drizzle over the remaining lemon juice, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
