Now the Etheridge had said unto Townsley, "Get thee out of thy county, and away from thy neighbor, and away from thy house. Thou shalt sojourn through a foreign land called Geo-Rgia and a city called Sava-Nnah where the inhabitants speak an unknown tongue and their food is flowing with grits and fried green tomatoes. Speak to no one and with haste make thy way unto another foreign land called Flor-Ida inhabited both by the aged and all manner of young and foreigners. I wilt show thy family of a great city called Orl-Ando. And I will make of thee a mouseketeer, and I will make thee glad, and thy name great among the kingdom of magic. I will make for you a villa of blue and white in a land flowing with mouse ears and duck. And in this kingdom and in all the earth you will be happy."
Or something like that....
Last year, we had the pleasure of going to Disney World. First time we had ever been there. Disneyland, many times since I grew up in L.A. and lived there with my family until the mid 1990's (and my job swept me away to a new and frigid land...Chicagoland...which is a fun place to live too, but much colder in the winter and no Disneyland or Disneyworld).
Anyhoo, Our son-in-law's parents...or our daughter's in-laws (not quite sure how to in-law them to us....'rents-in-laws?) asked us to go to Disneyworld with them as they have a vacation package. So we accepted and made the trek to Orlando. We had high expectations of sunning on the deck of the villa or playing on the man-made beaches around some of the resorts, but alas, Florida had a cold spell and we were vastly underdressed.
The first night we were there we ate a a cafe on the resort. It was called Olivia's Cafe and was a great choice (thanks Debbie for lining up all the food/eating options for us). I wasn't sure what to eat because the menu had some really great choices but I finally settled on their Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi with a Citrus Chili Glaze. It was delicious. So when we got home I had to try and copy it.
Here is my version of it:
I'm not usually a coconut kind of guy (it's a texture thing), but when it is toasted that is a different story. I also like the sweet and slight heat from the glaze that goes over the fish. Olivia's Cafe also served their fish over a bed of mashed Sweet Potatoes with some grilled Green Beans on the side. In the picture you'll see a mix of roasted Sweet and Red Potato chunks. Use your own favorite side dish to compliment the fish.
Here is the recipe:
Give this fish recipe a try and let me know what you think of it.
