LIME MAHI-MAHI

Here's another marinated steaks-on-the-grill recipe - gotta use those grilling recipes while it's warm!

Provided by ChrisMc

Categories     Mahi Mahi

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 mahi mahi fillets
1 cup red wine
3 tablespoons scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine wine, scallions, garlic, juice, brown sugar, and salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Marinate steaks for 60 minutes.
  • Grill or broil steaks, brushing with marinade.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish. Mahi-mahi should be firm to the touch and have a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Season the fish simply. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of mahi-mahi. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of chili powder for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Mahi-mahi is best served hot off the grill or out of the oven. You can garnish the fish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, or a squeeze of lime juice.

Conclusion:

Garlic lime mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The fish is cooked to perfection and the garlic lime sauce is flavorful and zesty. Serve the fish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
