white pepper mahi mahi / sweet potato slabs with tapenade / simple salad

Contents of your meal kit:

mahi mahi
sweet potato
white pepper spice blend
balsamic vinaigrette base
mixed greens
olive tapenade
parsley

Cookware needed: medium to large nonstick skillet with a lid, salad bowl

Finishing steps:

  1. Cut the sweet potato crosswise into 1-inch rounds. Arrange in a single layer in a nonstick skillet with a lid. Add enough water to come about halfway up the potatoes and add a good glug of olive oil. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the water evaporates.
  2. When water has evaporated, uncover and cook about 2 minutes to lightly brown the underside. Reduce heat to low, flip the potatoes, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. If the bottom has browned and the tip of a knife can easily be inserted into the potatoes, they are done. Continue to cook for up to 5 minutes longer if needed. Once done, remove potatoes from the pan, sprinkle with salt, and cover with foil to keep warm.
  3. Wipe out the skillet, add a small amount of oil, and heat again over med-high heat. Season both sides of fish with white pepper spice blend and salt. When oil is hot, add fish and cook 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of your salad bowl and add an equal amount of olive oil. Whisk or mix with a fork to combine.   If this looks like too much dressing, remove some before adding the greens. Toss gently and season with salt & pepper to taste.
  5. Divide fish and potatoes between plates. Top the potatoes with the olive tapenade and parsley. Serve the salad on the side.
