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.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mahi-mahi: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
  • Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor it.
  • Grill the fish over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist.
  • Cook the fish until it is just cooked through: Overcooking the fish will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish with a flavorful sauce: The Thai coconut sauce in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use your favorite sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi with Thai coconut sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is grilled to perfection and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. Serve it with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
