Bahamian Mahi Mahi recipe

4 servings

2 pounds mahi mahi fillets

1/2 cup dark rum

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

2 onion, sliced into thin rings

1 lemon, sliced

2 teaspoons dried oregano

4 tablespoons butter

ground black pepper to taste

Arrange the fish fillets in an oven proof 9x13 glass baking dish.

Pour the rum and lime juice over the fish and place a slice onion on each fillet.

Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Remove fish from the refrigerator and pour off about 3/4 of the liquid.

Leave the onion slices in the dish and place a thick slice of lemon on each fish fillet.

Sprinkle with oregano and black pepper to taste.

Place a pat of butter or margarine on each fillet.

Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F (165 degrees C) for about 20 to 30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Be careful not to over cook the fish or it will be dry.

Serve with the cooked onion and lemon slices.
