This is my favorite fish dish in the whole world. You have to make this Mahi Mahi dish to believe the flavor this dish creates. Sometimes I like to paste the pesto on top of my fish and toast the pesto under the grill just before serving.

Place the red and green capsicum on a baking tray and rub with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Bake in the oven on 380F for 12 minutes. Take the capsicum out of the oven and cool down. When the capsicums are cold. Peel the skin off and take out the top stalk and all the seeds. Slice the roasted capsicum flesh into strip and leave aside.

Make the basil pesto by adding all the pesto ingredients into a food processor and puree. Slowely add the olive oil until the pesto is combined.

Place the olive oil in a large frying pan and heat. Add the Mahi Mahi fillets into the hot pan and pan fry on both sides until the Mahi Mahi fillets become golden brown.

Place the Mahi Mahi fillet onto a small baking tray and spread the basil pesto across the top of the fish. Roast the pesto topped Mahi Mahi fillets under the grill. Re-heat the roasted capsicum in a small pan and place onto your serving plate. Place the Mahi Mahi on top of the roasted capsicum.
