Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large red onion
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

  • For the pickled red onions: Thinly slice the red onion, then pack into a 16-ounce mason jar. Add the pickling spice. Heat the vinegar, salt, sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 1 minute. Cool about 5 minutes, then pour over the onions. Set aside to cool to room temperature for at least 1 hour, then refrigerate until ready to use.

  • For the sandwiches: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Mix together the garlic powder, paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. Coat the fish evenly with the oil and sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides.
  • Spray the grill grates with cooking spray, then grill the fish until just cooked through, 3 minutes on each side. Just before the fish is finished, add the rolls to the grill and toast for 1 minute. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Assemble the sandwiches with the grilled ciabatta, fish, garlic aioli, pickled onions and arugula.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 17m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves plus 2 sprigs for garnish
Two 5- to 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mixed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the garlic and olive in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is soft and aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is softened.) Stir in the lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the fillets all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner--if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again). Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
  • Place a bed of greens on 2 plates. Divide the fish between the plates and brush with some of the mojo. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the sauce.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small avocado, diced
1 cup 1/3-inch cubes cantaloupe
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon grated lime peel
4 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets (each about 1 inch thick)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mahi-mahi: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, slightly briny smell.
  • Make sure the jerk spice is fresh: A good jerk spice blend will have a vibrant red color and a spicy, aromatic flavor. If you can't find a pre-made blend, you can make your own using a combination of allspice, thyme, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook the mahi-mahi: Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the mahi-mahi with your favorite sides: Grilled mahi-mahi pairs well with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi with jerk spice is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion.
