Traditional turkey has been a centerpiece on your holiday table for as long as you can remember. But this year, you’d prefer to bypass the tryptophan tiredness and minimize food waste (one can only eat so much leftover meat!). This baked mahi mahi is the perfect main course whether you’re looking to dine light or hosting a smaller-sized celebration. Mild and tender, mahi soaks up this tangy-spicy Dijon rub for bite after bite of flavorful and festive fish.
