Sear two Mahi Mahi Filets over medium high heat about four minutes per side.
In the meantime, combine 1/2 cup honey mustard, a good dollop of Dijon and add some drained capers and a generouos sprinkle of dried tarragon. Heat on low.
Drizzle tarragon honey mustard over fish and serve with your favorite sides.

These are my favorite posts on food blogs!!! After the beef we had last night, I was thinking fish was in order for tonight and I think I just found my recipe – thanks Lea Ann – I even have hummus in the fridge for the side!
Thanks! It’s time for me to get back into my “once a week” fish routine.
I love tarragon and never use it enough! Thanks for this!
Me too Pam. I think I’ll just set it out on my counter and make myself use it more.
Love capers – I’ll give this a try next time we have tuna
I’m a caper fan too Karen. I think this sounds great for tuna.
That’s a yummy sauce. I love the addition of the capers. I could eat them with anything. Unfortunately I haven’t purchased Mahi Mahi in forever, since the only one I could find was imported and marked as “avoid” on my little seafood guide. Where do you get yours?
Kirsten, I bought the Mahi Mahi from Whole Foods frozen section. It may not make your non imported list. I should check the package next time because I do like to boycott items from Canada. I have a HUGE issue with clubbing baby seals. My stomach turns every time I think about it.
I’ll bet this would taste great with tuna steaks too! Sounds delicious.
Absolutely! And chicken cutlets.
I have just a precious little sprig of tarragon still growing in my herb pot from summer. This sounds like the perfect way to use it. I’ve had a craving for fish lately. This sounds so good.
I can’t say I ever “crave” fish, but do have a rule that we eat it once a week. Thanks Karen.
Well there you have it! You know I love these posts from you. Anything I can pull together with ease like this is a life saver on most ‘school nights’. Thank you for another clear winner!
Thanks Toni. I happen to love these too. As you know I got the idea to blog these from Duo restaurant and those place mats. My hectic work schedule demands these mid week easy meals.
Mahi mahi was on our menu a LOT when we lived in the islands. When they start running from the south to the north in the Atlantic, they practically jump in your boat when you’re fishing.
Love mustard and tarragon together – fabulous combination and the flavors just pop.Thanks for this recipe Lea Ann. A keeper for sure!

Being land locked, I don’t know much about fish and where they live and how they behave. Thanks Sam.
That looks so delicious! I never use tarragon and for the life of me, I don’t know why! Now I want to mix these flavors together just to see what I’m missing.
Beautiful picture.
I like a little tarragon in my tuna salad sandwiches. Other than that, I don’t use it much.
YUM Mahi Mahi! I’ll have to try this sauce next time I make Mahi Mahi. Nice and healthy, this is perfect for my New Years resolution.
I don’t think I have ever had Mahi-Mahi! Sounds really good!
Looks delicious LA and pretty easy as well. I’ve about decided I like capers alot.
Sweet and briny, I love the pairing of honey against capers and the mustard bridges the two. You so smart, Lea Ann!
Wow, it doesn’t get much easier than this. I want to add more fish to our diet and this is a very tasty way to do it.
Yum! I love mahi mahi. Definitely a great meal!
I love no recipe required meals.. yummy! thanks
Simple and saucy! I love it, Lea Ann!
I really like tarragon but never know how to use it. I’m going to give this a shot!
You don’t have to have a complex ingredient list to have good food. The caper addition is brilliant!
That honey mustard sauce…I could drink that.
OK…made this and LOVED it! I used Mahi Mahi and mixed together my honey, mustard, horseradish sauce like we discussed until I got the flavor I was looking for…DELICIOUS and the capers brought it all together! We ate late that night and it was such a breeze to cook the fish and cover w/the sauce (that I had made earlier in the evening)…husband loved it!!!! Thanks Lea Ann!!!
I’m so glad it turned out good! I’m always a little nervous when someone says they’re going to try one of my recommendations.
So simple, but so super tasty looking. It’s been too long since I’ve had a good mahi mahi too.
Frozen from Whole Foods. I’d have to say I was impressed. I’m so darn picky about texture and of course fresh flavor.
