Orange poached fish with rosemary

x

Today's recipe is from my Saving Dinner book.  It is the first time I have cooked mahi mahi.  It was OK.  Nothing spectacular, but many times the recipes in here are not and I add something to them.  I think part of the fault may have been mine in that I probably overcooked them a bit trying not to leave them slimy.  I did like having the sauce to pour over it, but I did add additional orange juice near the end of cooking to have enough sauce.
 I served this with some tri-colored couscous - also just ok, but I'm not a huge fan of couscous.  For couscous, this was actually good.  I also made some zucchini. It turned out pretty good.  The big boys really liked it.  Both of those I just made up.

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon cooking oil (I actually used 1/2 Tablespoon butter)
• 3 Tablespoons red onion, diced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, pressed
• 6 fish fillets (I used 4 (6 oz) mahi mahi fillets)

Directions

1. In a large skillet, heat oil (or butter) over medium heat and cook onion until translucent.  sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Add orange juice and rosemary.  Stir and cook for 1 minute.
2. Add fish and lower heat to a simmer.  Cover and cook 8-10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Serve fish and spoon sauce over the top.  (Like I said above, I did add some extra oj at the end because it was looking dry.)

Orange Couscous ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup tri color couscous 
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 cup chicken stock
• pinch rosemary
• salt and pepper to taste (but I forgot to add any - would have made it a bit better though.)

Directions

1. In a saucepan, bring orange juice and chicken stock to a boil over high heat.  Add couscous, rosemary, salt and pepper.  Cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.  

Zucchini with bacon ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 Tablespoon real bacon crumbles

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large skillet.  Add garlic and saute briefly.  Add zucchini and bacon.  Cook and stir until done (about 10 minutes.)
