Instructions
- Heat your grill. Combine the fennel, mustard, coriander, cardamom, salt and pepper with the melted coconut oil and make a paste. Rub on both sides of the fish and set aside. While the grill is warming up, boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes or until you can just stick a fork through them. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drop the string beans into the same boiling water and cook until just tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and place the beans in a large bowl.
- When the grill is hot, cook the fish on both sides until done, about 10 minutes total or until the fish is cooked but not dry. Remove from heat.
- To make the dressing, combine the lemon juice, mustard powder, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Slice the warm potatoes into 2-inch (5 cm) chunks and place them in the bowl with the string beans. Add the capers and tomatoes. Cube the mahi mahi into 2-inch (5 cm) chunks and add them to the bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and garnish with minced parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
