Mahi Mahi with Lilikoi Butter

Dinner decisions, handled: Mahi Mahi with Lilikoi Butter pairs mahi mahi with passion fruit for a 30-minute Hawaiian dinner. The macros do the talking: 33g protein, 8g carbs, and 24g fat in every 435-calorie serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Mahi mahi
• 6 Passion fruit
• 6 tbsp Butter
• 1 Shallot
• 1/4 cup White wine
• 1/4 cup Macadamia nuts

Steps

1. Scoop the lilikoi pulp and simmer with the shallot and wine until reduced by half; strain.
2. Whisk in cold butter a piece at a time off the heat into a glossy beurre blanc.
3. Sear the mahi 3–4 minutes per side until just opaque — overcooked mahi is a tragedy.
4. Nap with the lilikoi butter and scatter toasted macadamias; sweet, tart, rich, done.
5. Serve the beurre blanc warm, not hot — overheated butter sauce breaks and there is no fixing it.
