Mahi-Mahi Spinach Salad


I made this dinner last night and it tasted great. It is also very healthy too! Lot's of protein, little carbs and a bunch of veggies. This recipe will provide 2-3 servings depending on the size of your stomach. This recipe was made up on the fly by me, so you won't find it anywhere else:

Ingredients:
- 2 Lemons
- 1 Lime
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Sliced Thin
- 1 Green Bell Pepper Sliced Thin
- 1 Golden Delicious Apple Dice
- 1 Cucumber Sliced Thin
- 1 Bag of Baby Spinach Leaves
- 1.75 Pounds Mahi-Mahi
- 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Dried Basil
- 2 Tbsp Thyme
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Salt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Black Ground Pepper

Mix the baby spinach leaves, 3/4 green bell pepper, 3/4 red bell pepper and cucumber into a large salad bowl. Place in refrigerator.

Remove the skin from the mahi-mahi and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Lay mahi-mahi onto a sheet of tin foil. Mixing with your hands, add basil, thyme, 1/2 tbsp salt and 1/2 tbsp of black ground pepper.

Put olive oil into a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add garlic, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add mahi-mahi to skillet, turn fish to cover with oil. Squeeze 1 lemon and 1/2 lime onto mahi-mahi and stir/flip. Add remaining red and green pepper to skillet and mix. Continue to mix while cooking for approximately 4 minutes or until fish seems fully cooked.

Add apple to salad bowl and mix. Now take the mahi-mahi with the oil and mix into salad bowl. Squeeze 1 lemon and 1/2 lime into bowl and mix. Sprinkle remaining salt and pepper into salad bowl and mix again.

You're done! Now sit down and enjoy.
