Mahi Mahi with Chimichurri Sauce

I'm gonna be honest.  The fish (or chicken or beef) or whatever you choose to put this chimichurri sauce on is really just a vessel for it's tangy, garlicky deliciousness.  This recipe really is all about the sauce!  So much so that after I took the picture of this fish, I slathered more sauce on top!  Enjoy!

Mahi Mahi with Chimichurri Sauce (adapted from bonefishgrill.com)


4 (4-6 oz.) mahi mahi filets
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. crushed red pepper
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley
1/2 c. cilantro
6 T. extra virgin olive oil

Preheat broiler and place fish on a foil lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Season fish with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Broil for 5-7 minutes (depending on size and thickness of fish) until fish is cooked through and flaky but not overdone!  Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine.  Serve fish with sauce on top.  Lots and lots of sauce on top!
