amanda

Equipment

  • - Cast Iron Skillet: Essential for pan-searing due to its even heat distribution and retention capabilities.

  • - Chef's Knife: A versatile kitchen tool used for chopping oranges, olives, and preparing the fish.

  • - Cutting Board: Provides a stable surface for cutting fruits and vegetables without damaging countertops.

  • - Fish Fillet Bone Remover: A specialized tool to make cleanup easier when filleting mahi-mahi, though optional depending on the preparation method.

  • - Oven Mitts: For handling hot cookware safely without risk of burns.

  • - Wooden Spoon or Spatula: Useful for flipping and ensuring even cooking of the fish fillets.

  • - Citrus Juicer: Although optional, it can be handy for extracting juice from oranges if needed.

  • - Measuring Cups & Spoons: Essential for precise ingredient measurement when preparing marinades or dressings.

  • - Colander (for rinsing): Useful for cleaning the fish and possibly washing prepared fruits if they've been peeled or cut.

  • - Non-stick Cook Spray or Brush: Can be used to prevent sticking of the mahi-mahi fillets during cooking, although care must be taken with direct pan contact.
