Impromtu Islander

I'm beginning to think I'm the only person cooking these days...where is everyone? This meal was supposed to be prepared by N, but work intervened, so I had to throw something together at the last minute. We had mahi mahi, and I love citrus and seafood, so I marinated the fillets in olive oil, lime juice and lime zest. Then I sprinkled it with some Old Bay and cooked it on the panini pan. I've always wanted to grill fish, but having never lived in a place with an outdoor area, much less a grill, the panini pan was as close as I could get. I thought I was thawing some frozen hericot vert in a pan with a little bit of water, but I ended up cooking them way too much. Oops? But to continue the citrus theme, I tossed the beans in some olive oil, butter, lemon juice and salads. Not as good as my mother makes, but not too bad either. Finally, I roasted some potatos and onions, which took waaay too long. Next time I will cut them smaller or maybe just cook them on the stove. The potatoes were not remarkable looking, but the psuedo-grilled fish deserved a picture:
