Cilantro Crusted Mahi Mahi - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs mahi mahi fillets, bones and skin removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper.
Dredge only one side of each fillet in the cilantro.
Place fish, cilantro side down, into the hot olive oil, being careful not to crowd the pan.
Cook until cilantro is crisp, checking often not to burn. (I check after 1 minute, then every 30 seconds after that.).
Turn fish over, then place in preheated oven.
Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
If you do not have a large oven proof skillet, you can cook fish a couple of fillets at a time, then transfer to a baking dish to finish cooking. You can use less oil or nonstick spray if using a nonstick pan, just remember to add more before adding more fish. Add extra cooking time since the dish is not preheated.
