Seared Mahi-Mahi with Charred Tomatillo Emulsion & Charred Green Beans

Name: Seared Mahi-Mahi with Charred Tomatillo Emulsion & Charred Green Beans
Prep time: 12 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 37 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: Two 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets (skin on); 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed; ¾ pound fresh tomatillos, husked and halved; 1 serrano chile, halved lengthwise; 3 cloves garlic, smashed; ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves; ¼ cup Mexican crema or sour cream; 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 2 tablespoons neutral oil for searing; Juice of ½ lime; Salt and pepper to taste; Fleur de sel (finishing salt)

Mahi-mahi's firm, meaty texture handles a hard sear beautifully, while a charred tomatillo sauce—built by roasting, blending, and finishing with olive oil—provides bright acidity and herbal depth. Green beans get the same treatment: charred until blistered, finished with crispy garlic. This is technique-confident seafood cooking.
