Bahamian Mahi Mahi

From the Kitchen of: Pepper

" This is an authentic Bahamian recipe I was given on Bimini many years ago. This goes well with a nice salad, garlic bread and a bottle of good German white wine. If you like fish you will not have any leftovers! "

2	lb.	Mahi Mahi fillets
1/2	c.	Dark Rum
1/2	c.	fresh Lime Juice
2		Onions, sliced into thin rings
1		Lemon, sliced
2	Tsp.	Dried Oregano
4	Tbsp.	Butter
		ground Black Pepper to taste

• Arrange the fish fillets in an oven proof 9x13 glass baking dish. Pour the rum and lime juice over the fish and place a thick slice onion on each fillet. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Remove fish from the refrigerator and pour off about 3/4 of the liquid. Leave the onion slices in the dish and place a thick slice of lemon on each fish fillet. Sprinkle with oregano and black pepper to taste. Place a pat of butter or margarine on each fillet.
• Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F (165 degrees C) for about 20 to 30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish or it will be dry. Serve with the cooked onion and lemon slices.
• 4 servings.
