BEK'S GRILLED MAHI MAHI FILLETS IN SOY GINGER MARINADE (OAMC)
This is a mild, Asian-inspired marinade that complements the mild flavor of Mahi Mahi. Great summer dish, I'm sure it would be good on any mild fish. OAMC chefs, double or triple the marinade as needed and freeze in family-sized portions - I use my vacuum sealer. **As with many of my original recipes, the ingredient amounts are approximate. Adjust to your preferences. As always, let me know if you make any substitutions or tweaks - I always like new ways to try old favorites! (Cooking time does not include marinating time.)

Steps:
- In a 1 gallon zipper bag, combine all ingredients except fish. Squish to combine. Add mahi and seal, refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- OAMC - squeeze all air out of zipper bag, or seal in a vacuum sealer and store in the freezer. Defrost and grill, following instructions below.
- Spray grill with non-stick cooking spray, the preheat to 475°F Cook fillets about 4 minutes on the first side, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness. Trust yourself on the grill, based on the thickness of your fillets - don't blindly use my timing! An overcooked fish is a sad fish.

Steps:
- In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine shallots, ginger, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook until liquid is reduced to approximately 2 tablespoons. Stir in heavy cream, and bring to light boil. Reduce cream by half; do not burn. Stir in soy sauce, then transfer to blender. Blend on low while slowly adding butter, a few cubes at a time, until all of the butter is emulsified. Roughly chop or tear shiso, add to sauce, and blend for about 10 more seconds. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Keep sauce warm.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Season both sides of the fillets with kosher salt and white pepper. Mix together white and black sesame seeds, and place in a plate or flat dish. Press the TOP side only of each fillet into the mixture, and press seeds into fish so it sticks. Make sure that the crusted sides are evenly crusted with the seeds. When oil is smoking, add fish, sesame seed side down to pan, and be careful of oil splatters. Pan sear fish for about 30 to 45 seconds per side. Place pan into oven, or transfer fish to baking sheet, and cook in oven for about 5 to 6 minutes. Serve sesame crust side up with ginger butter sauce.

THE BEST MAHI-MAHI
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!

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 SOY AND GINGER MAHI MAHI
Steps:
- 1. Mix the vinegar, soy and honey thoroughly in a glass bowl. 2. For the Ginger, I always freeze my leftover ginger root and I find that actually makes it easier to work with. To get some great ginger taste, just scrape the peel off of the outside of the frozen ginger root with the edge of a spoon. Then grate the frozen ginger right into the bowl with a microplane grater. Add in the remaining marinade ingredients and combine thoroughly. 3. Clean and rinse the Mahi Mahi filets. I like to cut the blood line completely out of the fish because the kids don't like the more fishy taste it gives the meat, but that is up to you. 4. Pat the filets dry, place in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the Mahi Mahi filets. 5. Place the dish in the refrigerator and marinade for at least 30 minutes, but no more than an hour (so I guess that makes it 45 minutes!). 6. The key to grilling fish is to cook it quickly over a really hot grill so you don't dry out the meat. So heat your grill to high. 7. If you have a fish basket, now is the time to break it out. Otherwise, make sure you REALLY clean and oil the grates of your grill with some vegetable oil. Nothing sticks quicker than fish and it's really kind of heartbreaking when you leave some of that delicious meat back on the grates. 8. Remove the filets from the marinade and place on the grill, reserving the marinade (we are going to use it later). 9. Grill the Mahi Mahi filets for 2 - 3 minutes on the first side and then flip them over and grill for an additional 2 - 3 minutes on the other side. These times are optional, but it is pretty easy to see when fish is done cooking. As the fish cooks through, the meat becomes more and more opaque. Remember though, don't overdue it! 10. Heat the remaining marinade on the stove and simmer until reduced slightly. Don't simmer too long, it will become VERY thick. 11. Drizzle a little of the sauce on the grilled Mahi Mahi filets and serve over rice.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Cook the fillets in the hot oil until the fish is golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.
- To assemble, place a cooked mahi-mahi fillet into the center of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.

GRILLED MAHI MAHI
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.

MAHIMAHI WITH GINGER-SOY SAUCE AND STIR-FRIED VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Mix first 10 ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Press each fillet into coriander seeds to coat all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over high heat. Add 3 fillets and sear until brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 fillets and 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet. Bake until just cooked through, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer fish to plates.
- Toss Stir-fried Vegetables with 2 tablespoons sauce. Divide vegetables among plates. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcook the fish: Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque in the center. Overcooked fish is tough and dry.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the fish with flavor. Be sure to let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Grill the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will also help to cook it evenly.
- Serve the fish with a variety of dipping sauces: This will allow your guests to customize their meal to their own taste.
Conclusion:
Grilled soy and ginger mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade infuses the fish with flavor, and the grilling process helps to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Serve the fish with a variety of dipping sauces, and you'll have a meal that everyone will enjoy.
