MY PAN-SEARED MAHI-MAHI with FRIED EGGPLANT and SWEET POTATOES

This is one of those cases when I try to find suitable combinations for my meals. I usually pair sweet potatoes & salmon. Today I paired it with Mahi-Mahi. Did not disappoint. I tried to fry the eggplant slices instead of oven roast them. Not the same, so, keep oven roasting them! Smile.
