2 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Pinch of saffron threads, soaked in 3 tablespoons hot water (optional)
100ml white wine vinegar

2 tbsp raisins
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
6 skinless, boneless mahi mahi fillets,
20 vine cherry tomatoes, halved

Method
Heat half the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 10 minutes until caramelised.
Add the saffron liquid and threads to the pan with the vinegar and fish stock, and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the raisins and toasted pine nuts. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the fish for 2-3 minutes on one side until just golden brown. Turn the fish, add the tomatoes and pour the onion mixture over the top. Simmer for 2 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
Season to taste and garnish with the coriander.
