Baked Tomato-Basil Mahi Mahi over Saffron Risotto with Sauteed Mushrooms

We had a couple of friends over for dinner, and we were tired of steak. It was hot today. Something "light" sounded good.


Saffron Risotto

Mahi-Mahi

We're serving the fish with a balsamic tomato-basil sauce we discovered yesterday and absolutely loved.

This was phenomenal. The fish was just a little bit rare, so it was nice and juicy, and basically fell apart in the mouth. The tomato-basil topping complimented the fish perfectly.

The risotto was good, if a little bit salty. I expect this is because we had to use chicken boullion instead of actual chicken stock.

I believe the cheese on top was manchego, but my memory may be failing me on that.

Balsamic Tomato-Basil Pasta

We went to the local farmers market today. I love this place. Especially now that the summer fruit 'n' vegetable season is coming back around.

So here's what we came up with:
Original Recipe at Recipe Zaar.

We're having this with bison sirloins and baby broccoli.

Notes:

First of all, we were only cooking for two. This recipe is supposed to be for 8 servings. We halved everything, ate moderate sized portions, and had one good serving left over.

Beyond that, I really don't have any suggestions for this. It' similar to bruschetta, but has a little more body to it. In fact, Lisa wants to try it chilled on some crusty bread.

This was delicious.
