    • Mahi Mahi & Veggie Skillet Recipe: Step-by-Step Method
    • Prepare all vegetables: cut red peppers into strips, slice mushrooms, and cut onion into thick rings
    • Pat mahi mahi fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper
    • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
    • Sear mahi mahi fillets in hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through; transfer to a plate and cover loosely
    • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil
    • Add onions and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften
    • Add red pepper strips and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions
    • Cook vegetables, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes until just tender and slightly caramelised
    • Deglaze the skillet with lemon juice, scraping any browned bits from the pan
    • Return mahi mahi fillets to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables
    • Sprinkle minced chives and pine nuts evenly over the fish and veggies
    • Cover the skillet and let everything warm together for 2 minutes, allowing flavours to meld
    • Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired
    • Transfer mahi mahi fillets to serving plates and spoon vegetables and pan juices over each
    • For plating, place a bed of vegetables on each plate and top with mahi mahi fillet, garnished with extra chives and pine nuts
    • Serve immediately while hot
