made some fresh dressing with avocado, fresh squeezed lime and orange juice, cilantro
and finished it off with a mexican quinoa salad with avocado, corn, black bean and tomato in a mexican marinade that I prepared.
thanks for looking

Those are some of the nicest food pics I have ever seen! What is your lighting & camera setup? Second, what temp did you cook everything at to achieve such amazing results? My SWMBO loves mahi-mahi so I am always on the lookout for new recipes. Please share recipe/set up if you would.

I use a Nikon D300 with a 50mm f1.8 lens. I am the zoom lol!! I also have an SB 800 flash that I use as I redirect, but big believer in flash for close up photography.
As for the temp I cooked this between 450 and 500 direct grilling today. The recipe was an on the fly cook but ill try.
I used 1/4 tsp of chipotle powder, cumin, ancho chilli, sea salt and pepper. Gently hit them, mostly for colour.
I will post each component of the cook separately -
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water and boil
reduce to simmer then let cool
marindade for quinoa was
1/4 cup EVOO
2 limes juiced
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp white vinegar
then added in 1 container of halved cherry tomato (1 to 1.5 cups)
1 can of corn
1 can of black bean
1/2 red onion diced
2 green onions diced
handle of diced cilantro
once quinoa is done mix it all together and let sit in fridge. add mixed greens right before serving.

salad dressing I made this.
1 avocado4 limes juiced
3 oranges juiced
2 tsp of Canadian Maple syrup
1/2 tsp tobasco sauce
1/2 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp of chipotle powder
1/8 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp of EVOO
I added a small handful of cilantro to the blender and mixed it all up.
it was a tad thick so I added a bit of water to be less like a paste and more like a dressing
-
diced up some avocado for the salad as well when I put it all together
