Seared Mahi-Mahi On Tapenade Stuffing

Ludwig loves to pan-sear or grill fresh fish, but ranted on and on about how boring the presentation is until he composed this little number. The tapenade base of this stuffing brings a complementary briny flavor to sweet fish like trout, mahi-mahi, snapper, cod and walleye. Use either to stuff whole fish prior to cooking or as a bedding for fillets.
