    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

6 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 large shallot, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
3/4 cup green olives, pitted, halved
3 oranges, peeled, cut into segments
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Transfer skillet to oven; roast fish until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
