I hate when I have to prepare a meal in a rush. Today was one of those days. I have to take my car to the warranty tomorrow and I wanted to make sure the car was presentable. I try to schedule things to avoid as much conflict as possible. I am rarely successful. First I get off from work late, as it never fails the day preceding a leave request. Then my car. All I have to say is that if you need to get your car detailed, do it yourself. Car washes here in P.R. truly suck!

I get home and I have to rush to make dinner because I don’t like eating late, plus my boyfriend and I voluntarily spent the day fasting. Luckily, I always fix a quick salad with either fish or chicken. Today I made a ceasar salad with Mahi Mahi. Amazingly, this was the first time I tried this fish. LOVE IT. The great thing about fish is that it cooks fast. Usually faster than I can make the salad (if you remember from a previous story, I am extremely careful with the mandoline slicer). Here is an idea for anyone who has to make a quick meal in a rush.

I always buy the shredded Parmesan cheese for the Ceasar salad only. You will notice that any recipe/idea I provide will require eye measurements. You can choose the appropriate mix of spices and ingredients that best suits your taste buds. Anyway, for the Caesar salad, just cut some romaine lettuce, shred some carrots, add shredded Parmesan cheese, croûtons and Caesar dressing. Et voile! For the fish, season a Mahi Mahi fillet with sea salt and pepper. Prepare a mojito (not the drink, though you can get creative) by mixing olive oil and garlic. To that, you can add some herbs and lime juice. Heat a skillet to medium high heat. Brush the fillets with the mojito and cook until golden and flaky (you would cook them approximately 2-3 minutes per side depending on the size). This is really simple and quick. Another good thing about such a light meal is that it allows you to have some , like from the ice cream truck.
