This is the first Rachel Ray menu I ever tried, and it is still a favorite. If I cannot find MahiMahi, I substitute Tuna or salmon. Rachel recommended serving with Pina Colada Sundae.

Preparation

Preheat grill pan or indoor electric grill to high heat. Squeeze juice of 1 lime over fish. Drizzle steaks with a little oil and rub oil into fish to coat. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Cook steaks 5 minutes on each side on hot grill.

To assemble salsa, combine all ingredients for salsa in a small bowl.

To make couscous, bring broth or water to a boil with curry powder, salt, oil, and raisins. Place couscous in a bowl. Add boiling liquid to bowl and cover. Let couscous stand 10 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork and combine with scallions, carrot, orange pieces, and almonds.

Top fish with salsa and serve with generous portions of curry couscous.

Have some gourmet chips on hand for snacking with leftover salsa.

Cook's Notes

Mango is tricky, has a tough, pithy center that you do not want to use.

LOVE IT! I made this last week for my family and WOW ~ very easy, quick and the flavors are amazing. The couscous is soooo tasty. I picked up a bag of individually frozen mahi mahi at Sam's club at a really great price and thawed 4 portions overnight in the fridge. I added steamed asparagus to round out the meal.
