Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

BROILED MAHI MAHI




This year we discovered the fish mahi mahi. When I buy it ( not very often because it is not cheap)  I like to prepare it each time differently.  I was worried about this recipe, - the orange juice concentrate -,  but the end result was fantastic. Definitely a winner for us.   
For side dish we had boiled potato and broccoli-watercress salad. I had to replace again the watercress with radichio (it wasn't in the store). With all this commotion this is one amazing salad. One other family favorite.  

Ingredients
2 pounds mahi mahi fillets (skinless)
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 cup frozen orange juiceconcentrate
1 bay leaf

Cut the mahi mahi fillets into serving size portions and place side by side in a baking dish.

Thaw the juice concentrate.crumble the bay leaf. Combine these with the other remaining ingredients and mix well to create a marinade.

Pour the marinade over the mahi mahi (make sure you turn the fish to coat both sides).

Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 30 to 43 minutes. (I left it for around one hour.)

Place pan on top rack of oven and broil 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Fish  will be ready when you can easily flake it with a fork.

Serve!
