Cilantro Crusted Mahi Mahi

---

I have never been a huge fan of fish, but this is a mild, simple and delicious tasting entree! i like to make it with tilapia as well. you could probably use any mild tasting white fish. i have also used dried cilantro when my store was out of fresh.

Steps

---

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.

---

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.
