This vibrant mahi-mahi dish is a wonderful example of how citrus and salty notes can elevate white fish. The combination of fresh orange segments, piquant green olives, and the subtle aroma of saffron creates a sophisticated Mediterranean-style sauce that feels indulgent yet remains incredibly light. It is a colourful, fresh choice for a summer evening, offering a perfect balance of zesty sweetness and savoury depth.
As a heart-healthy main course, this recipe is naturally rich in lean protein and healthy fats from the olive oil. The quick searing and roasting technique ensures the fish stays succulent while allowing the flavours of the garden herbs to shine through. Serve it alongside some steamed seasonal greens or crushed new potatoes for a balanced homemade meal that is as nutritious as it is flavourful.
