GRILLED MAHI MAHI



Grilled Mahi Mahi image

This recipe is great either on the grill or in the oven broiler. The tomatoes give it a little bite. My entire family loves it, even my pickiest eater. In the winter I make this dish in my oven or broiler. The amounts I gave are approximate. I use two cans of tomatoes when I want more 'bite,' only one can when I want less. I like a lot of garlic so I generally use a lot.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 5- to 6-ounce skinless mahi mahi fillets
Freshly ground black pepper
4 Hawaiian or brioche buns, split
Mayonnaise, for spreading
Bibb lettuce leaves, sliced sweet onion and fresh pineapple slices, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl; season with a pinch of salt and set aside. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne in a small dish; sprinkle and rub all over the fish, then season on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Toast the buns cut-side down on the grill until lightly marked, 30 seconds to 1 minute; set aside. Add the fish to the grill and cook until lightly charred and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom buns, then spread with some of the ketchup sauce. Top each with a lettuce leaf, some sliced onion, a slice of pineapple and a piece of fish. Generously spread the top buns with more ketchup sauce and place on top of the sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mahi-mahi: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Marinate the fish: Marinating the mahi-mahi in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork: Overcooking will dry out the fish, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Grilled mahi-mahi is best served hot off the grill, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile fish that can be grilled, baked, or pan-fried. When cooked properly, mahi-mahi is moist and flaky, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. This recipe is a great way to enjoy grilled mahi-mahi, and it is sure to become a favorite in your household.
