1-2 lb Mahi Mahi filets (we had about 8 oz and that was plenty for the 3 of us - Isaac, of course, didn't touch his)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 C fresh orange juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp allspice or pumpkin pie spice
1/8 tsp red pepper
Salsa:
1 avocado, diced
1/2 C red onion, diced
1 orange, diced
1/2-1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced (use half the pepper or all the pepper, to taste)
2 tsp lime juice
3 Tbsp fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp cilantro, minced
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Combine the oil and 1/4 C orange juice in a large bag. Add fish and squish around to coat. Combine spices in a bowl. Open bag and rub spices onto the fish filet. Close bag again ad squish around again. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes.
When husband gets home, hand him the fish and send him outside to the grill. Wait 5-10 minutes for husband to return inside with perfectly cooked fish! (He heats the grill and cooks skin-side on the grill rack until the fish looks lovely and flaky. He has oiled the grill rack in the past so that the skin doesn't stick to the grill - he doesn't oil the grill every time, though. I don't know how often he needs to or if sometimes he just feels lazy and throws the fish on regardless.)
Combine all salsa ingredients. Serve with fish. DELICIOUS! I'm sure you could do this with tilapia and even salmon, too.
And now for little boy:
Little boy is OBSESSED with cars. When we drive anywhere, it is to a continuous stream of "car" "car" "car" coming from the back seat. He points out every car, parked or moving, that we see. It used to be a cute little high pitched baby voice saying "car-car". Now it is a caveman, guttural, grunt of "car". Pretty cute.
He also found his new favorite book: Daddy's large classic cars book (a coffee table type book). He just loves turning the pages and seeing all the cars.
