Poached Mahi Mahi with Coconut Rice
Start with the rice, it takes the longest. Put 1 1/2 cup water and 1 cup light coconut milk, a few pinches of salt and a pinch of sugar into a med. size pot and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice (long grain, but basmatti might make a nice variation), bring back to a boil, cover top and turn the heat down to simmer for 25 minutes.Meanwhile, you can prep any veggies for cooking. I steamed broccoli and red bell pepper with this dish.Season both sides of the Mahi Mahi with salt and pepper. Pour some orange juice just until it barely covers the bottom of a saute pan, and turn the heat on med. Add the Mahi Mahi and put a cover on the pan. Poach for about 5 minutes on each side or until your desired doneness. I like my fish a little on the medium side, as opposed to completely cooked.
