Sicilian-Style Dolphin Fish or Mahi-Mahi Rolls

Sicilian-Style Dolphin Fish or Mahi-Mahi Rolls.
This fish, known as dolphin, dorado, and mahi-mahi, a pelagic fish is truly spectacular for its taste and the beauty of its colors.
It has a great flavor and is rich in nutritional properties.
Its meat is lean – containing about 1% fat – and rich in vitamins and minerals including phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. The market price is very interesting and allows you to eat well by preparing great recipes with a favorable quality/price ratio.
Today I propose it as rolls, with the inevitable Sicilian-style seasoned breadcrumbs, (see recipe) all cooked in the broth of the same fish.
You will also find the recipe for Bimby at the bottom.

Preparation of Sicilian-Style Dolphin Fish or Mahi-Mahi Rolls

    Today we will use a part of a specimen about 55 lbs, freshly caught.

  • When you go to your trusted fishmonger, have them cut thin slices crosswise as if it were smoked salmon, you know the cut the deli man makes?

  • Now prepare the filling. The base is Sicilian-style seasoned breadcrumbs. To see the recipe click here.

    Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and…

  • About 3.4 oz of water.

  • Stir, and to know if you have reached the ideal consistency, know that it should look almost like a meatball.

    The amount of water can vary depending on whether you use more or less dry breadcrumbs.

  • Now spread the slices on the work surface, put a heap of seasoned breadcrumbs and a small cube of provolone on each. Roll the rolls and skewer them.

  • In a non-stick frying pan, heat a little extra virgin olive oil, and cook the skewers for 1 minute per side. Then set them aside.

  • Now we will prepare the broth with the “scraps” of the fish, i.e., spines and head.

  • In the same pan where you browned the skewers, add more extra virgin olive oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Saute for 2 minutes, then pour over about 1 liter of water.

  • Add to the broth the chopped cherry tomatoes, a branch of parsley, and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook for about 16 minutes.

  • After the time has passed, immerse the skewers and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.

  • Serve the skewers hot and steaming,
