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)

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.

THE BEST MAHI-MAHI



The Best Mahi-Mahi image

With a firm flesh and mild taste, mahi-mahi (aka dorado) is ideal for intense cooking and lots of bold flavor. Here we brush mahi-mahi fillets with a spicy-sweet glaze made with pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes. The fillets hold up well and are easy to flip on a hot grill, which ensures that the glaze becomes sticky and slightly charred, while locking in moisture so the fish is tender and succulent. A quick salsa of grilled pineapple, charred scallions and fresh mint and cilantro is spooned on top as a nod to the mahi-mahi's native tropical waters. You can practically feel the warm breeze off the ocean in every bite!

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Vegetable oil, for brushing
One 20-ounce can pineapple rings, drained, juice reserved for the glaze
4 scallions
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup mint leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 scallion, cut lengthwise in thirds
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and smashed
Juice of 1 lime
Four 8-ounce filets mahi-mahi
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the salsa: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat. When hot, brush generously with vegetable oil.
  • Grill the pineapple rings and scallions (working in batches if using a grill pan), flipping the scallions often, until tender and charred, 3 to 5 minutes total and flipping the pineapple once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Let cool on a cutting board then dice. Toss to combine with the lime juice and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. (The cilantro and mint will be added just before serving.)
  • For the mahi-mahi: Combine the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, scallion, ginger, lime juice and reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, syrupy and thick, about 6 minutes.
  • Pat the mahi-mahi dry with paper towels and generously brush the tops of the fish with the glaze; season with a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill glaze-side down, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of the fish with glaze and season with another pinch each of salt and pepper. Flip and grill, undisturbed, until the fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the tops with more glaze.
  • Divide the fish among plates. Fold the cilantro and mint into the pineapple salsa, then spoon it over the fish. Serve immediately.

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.

Grilled Tamarind and Orange Glazed Chicken image

Bring some life to your usual chicken dinner. Tamarind concentrate is so easy to use and this recipe is the perfect introduction to it.

Provided by Sarah

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
¼ cup white sugar
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons tamarind paste
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or to taste
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, herbes de Provence, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; place chicken in marinade and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 6 hours, turning chicken occasionally in marinade.
  • Whisk chicken broth, orange juice, sugar, orange zest, butter, tamarind paste, and ginger in a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook at a vigorous boil, whisking often, until mixture has reduced to about 3/4 cup and glaze coats the back of a spoon, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chile-garlic sauce; season tamarind glaze with salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray. Pour about 3 tablespoons tamarind glaze into a small bowl for basting and set aside.
  • Place chicken breasts onto preheated grill; discard used marinade. Grill chicken until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side, basting with reserved tamarind glaze. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a serving plate and serve with remaining tamarind glaze poured on top.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest mahi-mahi available: Look for fish that has a vibrant color and firm flesh. Avoid fish that has any signs of discoloration or sliminess.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the mahi-mahi in a mixture of herbs, spices, and citrus juices will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the fish over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while cooking it through evenly on the inside.
  • Baste the fish with the tamarind glaze frequently: This will help to keep the fish moist and caramelize the glaze.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Grilled mahi-mahi is best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or grilled fruit.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi with tamarind glaze is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is grilled to perfection and the tamarind glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. This dish is also a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious seafood meal, give grilled mahi-mahi with tamarind glaze a try.
