grilled mahi mahi in lemon butter sauce: the story of an anniversary dinner @bistrocacao
My husband and I recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. Footloose and fancy-free (in other words, sans kiddos) in Washington DC, we tried out a French restaurant called Bistro Cacao in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
It was a warm evening, so we sat outside on the large patio and enjoyed a glass of red wine while we waited for our dinner. If anyone had uttered even just one word in French, I would have believed I was in France.
Then, our dinners arrived. I ordered the Dorade Grille, Beurreau Citron, orif you willgrilled mahi mahi in lemon butter sauce served with fingerling potatoes and steamed green beans. I think my husband ordered the trout special, but Im not sure because I was so captivated by my meal. The fish was flaky and cooked just right. And, I ate every morsel.
Although I didnt do the math, Im pretty certain the lemon butter sauce was not low-calorie. Nonetheless, it was delicious and perfect for this occasion. In fact, I may have to find another reason to celebrate at this bistro just to enjoy that mahi mahi once again!
