Grilled Mahi Mahi with Lentils

Grilled Mahi Mahi with Lentils
Simple ingredients mixed together bring an other worldly experience!  Fabulous beyond description, apparently I'm one of the last people to discover this recipe.  First put out by Trader Joe's, I've had it served at gatherings no less than three times in the last month, and it's now become a regular in my house.  Whether the concoction be used as a dip, a base for fish or chicken, or a simple side salad, it's all good.


4 pieces mahi mahi
oil
salt and pepper 
1 package Trader Joe's Steamed Lentils
1 tub Trader Joe's Fresh Bruschetta Sauce
1/2 tub Trader Joe's Mediterranean Feta

Open the lentils and place into a large bowl.  Stir to break the lentils apart (they pack tightly in the packaging).  Add the tub of bruschetta and 1/2 of the tub (more or less as you desire) of the Mediterranean Feta.  Stir to combine, and then chill.

Preheat grill on medium high.  While grill is heating, oil fish with oil (I use either olive or avocado) and sprinkle lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Lower one side of the grill to medium-low, and place fish on clean grates.  Grill 3-4 minutes and flip.  Grill another 3-4 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through (you may have to adjust your time up or down depending on the heat of your grill and the thickness of your fish).

Spoon the lentils onto a plate and top with fish.  Serve with a slice of lemon if desired.  Sit back and wait for recipe requests... Enjoy!

Liv Life Note:  The lentils in this dish will serve more than 4, I'm guessing it would do nicely as a base for the fish for 6.  Prepare as many fillets as you need, and save the rest for later!
