Mahi Mahi Rockefeller

By Addie

A twist on the classic Oysters Rockefeller. My family loves Oysters Rockefeller and I wanted a main meal that would be available any time of the year. It became a hit that is requested frequently. This is also good with tuna or other firm white fish. Excellent served with twice baked potatoes and steamed green beans.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop. Set aside.

2. Season mahi mahi with garlic salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook mahi mahi until it flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from skillet and place each filet on a baking dish.

3. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

4. While the fish is cooking, melt the butter in a separate skillet. Stir in the green onions, garlic, and spinach. Cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chopped bacon, hot pepper sauce, and evaporated milk. Bring to a low simmer, then add the Monterey Jack cheese a little at a time until fully melted. Stir in more evaporated milk, if needed, to create a sauce. Divide the spinach mixture evenly over each mahi mahi fillet. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

5. Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes more.

So delicious I made mine with a side of asparagus and mash potatoes, using the frozen spinach was no problem. I swear this recipe leaves them wanting more. My 80 year old grandmother does not have much of an apetite and she LOVED it!

Yum! I'm not sure if I'll make it again because the flavor wasn't quite enough to be worth what felt like a major calorie splurge with all the cheese, but it was good.

Such a good dish. I had left over sauce and made some fried eggs the next morning and put them and the sauce on top of toast. Im in heaven.

Ok - if you do this, here's what we changed - A) We used pepper bacon B) We used one of the bigger bags of frozen spinach C) We reduced a pint of heavy cream and used that and not the evaporated milk - and we used all of the cream! D) We sprinkled some bread cumbs and some parm cheese before broiling.

Very yummy recipe. I used turkey bacon instead of the regular bacon. Next time I think I will not add salt when cooking the fish because it came out a bit on the salty side (once you add the bacon and cheese), but then again I usually do not add salt to any of recipes so it my just be my taste buds.

Well, I would give it 3.5 out of 5. It was good but so very heavy. I cut back on the cheese and salt and bacon. It seemed very old school cooking.

It's pretty hard to go wrong with bacon and cheese. This was a really good recipe, and my whole family of five liked it. I used fresh spinach like some other reviewers. I melted the butter and started the spinach first in the skillet. When it had wilted a bit I added the onions, garlic, etc. Also I didn't have evaporated milk so I used regular milk. It was not a problem. I used both mahi mahi and tilapia. The mahi mahi tasted the best in this dish.

These were very interesting ingredients to go on fish but surprisingly it worked out well! I didn't end up broiling it b/c I didn't want to overcook the fish so I just ended up adding the parmesan when I did the jack cheese. I used fresh spinach so I sauteed it off in a separate pan then added it when needed. Yummy recipe..thanks!!!!

I was looking for something new. Husband and I loved it! Thank you :) I halved the recipe by eye because there are only two of us and I'm always doing too many things at once in the kitchen (making coconut custard pie) to measure what doesn't NEED to be measured. I also used fresh spinach instead of frozen. Great job. There are not too many recipes I don't change to my tastes, so I never review them.

Really yummy! I saved the leftover topping for chicken the next night :)

Good recipe. Next time I may use less onions and Parmesan as my boyfriend thought it was too much.

This was a very yummy recipe! I was looking to have mahi mahi with a different twist and this turned out good! I would cut back a little on the cheese and I used fresh spinach instead of frozen.
