GRILLED MAHI MAHI WITH CAPER, TOMATO, BEARNAISE SAUCE



Grilled Mahi Mahi With Caper, Tomato, Bearnaise Sauce image

The first time I made this I used packaged bearnaise sauce, It was quick and good however it doesn't compare to real bearnaise sauce with fresh tarragon. Only warm the tomatoes do not cook them. For a real taste treat combo serve this with barbecued bacon wrapped asparagus.

Tips for Perfect Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Lemon-Caper Sauce:

- **Select the Freshest Fish:** Choose firm and brightly colored mahi-mahi fillets with a mild, slightly sweet aroma. Avoid fillets with a slimy texture or a strong fishy odor. - **Proper Thawing Method:** If using frozen fillets, thaw them properly in the refrigerator overnight or in a sealed plastic bag submerged in cold water. Avoid thawing at room temperature or in the microwave, as this can compromise the fish's texture and flavor. - **Marinate Wisely:** Marinating the mahi-mahi in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during grilling. Use a flavorful marinade, but avoid marinating for too long, as this can make the fish mushy. - **Grill at the Right Temperature:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the mahi-mahi. This helps sear the fish quickly and prevent it from sticking to the grates. - **Use a Well-Seasoned Grill:** A well-seasoned grill prevents the fish from sticking and adds a smoky flavor. You can season your grill by rubbing it with oil and heating it over medium heat for a few minutes before grilling. - **Cook to Proper Internal Temperature:** Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish to monitor its internal temperature. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for flaky, perfectly cooked fish. - **Rest the Fish Before Serving:** After grilling, let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Grilled mahi-mahi with lemon-caper sauce is a delectable dish that combines the delicate flavor of mahi-mahi with a tangy, savory sauce.
