Mahi Mahi with Rhubarb Compote

mahi mahi rhubarb compote

The seasonal potluck continues!  I’ve found that it is a little early here in the Midwest for rhubarb, but you will certainly see it at the farmers markets and probably other specialty markets soon.  So hopefully you all can enjoy some of our great potluck recipes when the weather warms up a bit!  I realized that I hadn’t made anything savory yet with rhubarb because I kept finding dessert recipes that sounded so good!  Betsy made a couple of really nice sounding savory rhubarb recipes, with chicken and pork, so I thought I’d give fish a go!  The original recipe calls for halibut, but I used mahi mahi.  I think that any whitefish would work fine with this recipe though.  These original recipes are adapted from www.myrecipes.com.

Rhubarb Compote, makes 1 1/2 cups

  • 3 cups diced fresh rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Stir together all ingredients in a 3-quart saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes or until mixture thickens and is reduced by half.
