Directions
Champagne Citrus Beurre Blanc
Step 1
Add olive oil to a pan on low-medium heat. Once hot, add in the shallots. Sauté until translucent.
1 tbsp olive oil
⅓ c shallot, finely diced
Step 2
Add in champagne and citrus juices. Continue to cook until almost all of the liquid has cooked off.
1 c dry champagne
1 tsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh lime juice
Step 3
Turn heat to low.
Step 4
Stir in heavy cream.
2 tbsp heavy cream
Step 5
Add in a couple cubes of the cold butter. Keep the butter moving until it melts completely. Then add more cubes. Continue this process until all the butter is added. The butter will emulsify and create a creamy sauce.
1 ½ stick of cold butter, cubed
Step 6
Remove from heat and serve.
Risotto
Step 1
Add broth to a pot and bring to a simmer. Keep hot.
4 c broth
Step 2
Add butter to a pan on low-medium heat. Once melted, add in shallot and cook until translucent.
1 tbsp butter
½ c shallot, finely diced
Step 3
Stir in the arborio and cook for 2-3 minutes.
⅔ c arborio
Step 4
Add in white wine and cook until the liquid is absorbed.
½ c dry white wine
Step 5
Add 1/2 c of hot broth to the arborio at a time. With each 1/2 c stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
Step 6
When 3/4 of broth is incorporated, add in squash and corn.
¼ c butternut squash, finely diced
1 ear of corn
Step 7
Turn the heat off once all of the broth is added and absorbed. Stir in parmesan and chives.
¼ c parm
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
Step 8
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Mahi Mahi
Step 1
Pat mahi mahi filets dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.

salt and pepper, to taste
Step 2
Heat a large pan on medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil.
1 tbsp oil
Step 3
Place mahi mahi filets in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. To help get a golden brown color, do not move the filets around during this time. Flip (see next step) and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
Step 4
When you flip the fish, add butter and garlic. Baste the fish while it continues to cook.
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tbsp butter
