Categories     Fish     Quick & Easy     Lime     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Soy Sauce     Gourmet

Yield Makes 10 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup tamarind pulp (from a pliable block)
1 cup boiling-hot water
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon packed palm or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
10 (1- to 1 1/2-inch-thick) pieces mahimahi fillet with skin (6 oz each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Soak tamarind pulp in boiling-hot water in a small bowl, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a medium-mesh sieve set into a bowl, then force pulp through sieve, discarding seeds and fibers. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  • Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).

Turn fish over and grill until just cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Brush tamarind sauce all over fish and grill 1 minute.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 oz shallots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (2/3cup)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 fresh Thai or serrano chiles (2 to 3 inches long), minced, including seeds
3/4 pineapple (preferably not labeled "super sweet"), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (4 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
6 (1- to 1 1/2-inch-thick) pieces mahimahi fillet with skin (6 oz each)

Steps:

  • Cook garlic and shallots in 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chiles and pineapple, then sauté over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until pineapple is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add fish sauce, sugar, and salt and sauté sambal, stirring, 30 seconds. Cool to room temperature, then stir in cilantro.
  • While sambal is cooling, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
  • Brush fish all over with remaining tablespoon oil, then season with salt. Grill, skin sides down, on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, until skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn fish over and grill until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more. Serve fish with sambal.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest mahi-mahi available. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has clear eyes. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Use a marinade to infuse the mahi-mahi with flavor. There are many different marinade recipes available, so choose one that suits your taste. Be sure to marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the mahi-mahi over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grill. Cook the fish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the mahi-mahi with your favorite sides. Grilled mahi-mahi pairs well with rice, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled mahi-mahi is cooked perfectly and full of flavor. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled mahi-mahi a try.
