Grilled Mahi Steaks with Citrus Gremolata Drizzle with Akorn squash

[skreef]

I chose Italy for my Fed in the Med Cook

.

I decided I wanted to cook Fish for my Challenge. So our Kroger had Mahi at a decent Price. Didn't really know Excactly what I wanted to do with it ... But I'm one of them that will figure it out later. Lol...

.

.

First off I got busy to find out what kind of drizzle sauce that would be great on fish.. Naturally for me its lemon. Got on web to find a great sauce that I thought we would like. So I pick Citrus Gremolata, (which originated in Italy.. Thats how I decided which Country).

.

Ingredients for Gremolata

(as you can tell, very minimal ingredients) which I Love. I mixed all ingredients together so all flavors come together. Lemon was for zest only. Along with Orange zest. Recipe calls for a lime zest too.. But didn't have it. So I use lime juice instead.

.

.

I chose a Akorn squash for my side. Akorn squash really originated in Mexico and central America.. But in this day and time Akorn squash's are commercially grown in Italy as well as a few more country's.

.

I cut them in half and scoop all the seeds out. I kept some of the Akorn squash seeds. Hoping to dry them out for later use.

Akorn squash on Grill @400 indirect for bout 45 minutes

.

.

Ckreef had our starch covered(Rice) which was my first choice, but since we decided to eat our Challenge cooks on the same night, I opt to just make my Akorn squash a simple side which they might actually like. So I needed to find the right something and that something was a brown sugar glaze.

.

Brown Sugar Glaze Ingredients

.

I melted down all the ingredients along with butter (which I forgot to add to pic, 1/4 cup.

.

.

Brush the Akorn squash with Glaze and grill them another 15 mins

.

.

Next it was time to put my fish on

.

I just added seasalt.. Didn't want to add other seasoning to get in the way of my Citrus Gremolata flavors. I put them on Grill Grates @ 500 for about 8 minutes total time.

.

.

So I have all my components ready

Fish-check

Gremolata-check
