  • Microwave the asparagus on a plate with a tablespoon of water, covering with plastic wrap, 3 or 4 minutes, depending on the power of the microwave
  • Lightly oil the mahi mahi fillets with olive oil and add salt and pepper, then place on the hot grill pan and cook until you can see that about 1/3 of the fillet is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes
