Sesame mahi mahi sticks and Quinoa with peppers and onions

    
    Easy to make, kid friendly and pretty quick to whip up. I used mahi mahi and I think it turns out better than most other fish because its meaty and has a light flavor. 
    I made a tartar sauce to go with these. Here's the recipe:
          •1/2 cup mayo
          •2 tbs diced pickles
          •1 tbs apple cider vinegar (or a wine vinegar)
          •1 tbs capers
          •1 tsp grain mustard
          •salt and pepper to taste
Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl and store in the refrigerator. I think it taste better after a day so you can make it in advance and it will have more flavor!

    For the fish I start with a plate of sesame seeds and I sprinkle a little garlic powder, salt and pepper in with it. 
I slice up the mahi into little sticks and pat them dry with a paper towel. 
Then I roll the mahi in the sesame seeds till they are coated on all sides
Next I heat up a little coconut oil (or whatever oil you'd like, I use a mix of ghee and coconut oil) and I toss in the mahi (careful not to knock off all the sesame seeds)
Brown them on all sides and take them off to sit on a paper towel to absorb any oil. 

    Next I make my quinoa. I use 2 cups of water and a dash of salt with 1 cup of quinoa. Cook until you see a little ring around the quinoa. 
    While I cook that I sauté peppers, onions, kale and garlic in a pan. 
After the veggies are all cooked, I throw it in with the quinoa and mix it all together! Easy and very healthy! When it's all finished, this is what I've got:
Very good and very nice for summer! I hope you enjoy :)
