A note about serious food allergies

Caramelized onions are made low and slow, but we don't have time for that in a weeknight meal. We premade the onions, but not the sauce, as you'll combine the sweet onions with cream and then coat the mahi-mahi with its rich, sweet perfection. Buttery citrus green beans and herbaceous mashed potatoes pair with the mahi like nobody's business. We've saved you a bit of time, but we haven't skimped on the flavor.

  1. 1

    Start Potatoes and Prepare Ingredients

    Quarter potatoes.

    Bring a medium pot with potatoes covered with water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.

    While potatoes boil, trim ends off green beans.

    Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    On a separate cutting board, pat mahi-mahi dry and halve. Season both sides with half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for potatoes), and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Finish the Potatoes

    Reserve 3/4 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot.

    Add remaining garlic salt, cheese spread, and half the cream (reserve remaining for sauce). Mash until smooth. If too thick, add potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time and up to 3 Tbsp., until desired consistency is reached. (Reserve remaining potato cooking water for sauce.) Cover and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add green beans to hot pan and cook, 1 minute.

    Add 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cover, and cook until tender, 6-8 minutes.

    If green beans need more time, add 2 Tbsp. water and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in butter, 1/2 tsp. lemon zest, and 1 tsp. lemon juice until coated.

    While green beans cook, cook mahi-mahi.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mahi-Mahi

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add mahi-mahi to hot pan. Cook until browned and mahi-mahi reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Transfer mahi-mahi to a plate and tent with foil. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook mahi-mahi to medium-high heat. Add remaining cream, caramelized onion jam, 3 Tbsp. remaining potato cooking water, and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, remove from burner. Add mahi-mahi and gently flip until coated.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping mahi-mahi with remaining sauce and squeezing lemon wedges over to taste. Bon appétit!
