Mahi-Mahi In Ginger Scallion Sauce image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 25m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 scallions (about 1 1/2 bunches)
1/2 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
4 filets of mahi-mahi, 8 ounces each, cut 1/2-inch thick (swordfish with the skin trimmed off can be substituted)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Trim the roots from the scallions. Reserve four of the scallions. Cut the white part off the remaining scallions and chop finely. Trim the green of any wilted leaves and slice into one-inch lengths.
  • Place the sesame oil in a medium-sized saucepan along with the white part of the scallions and the shallots, and cook over low heat until they soften but do not take on any color. Add the ginger and chicken stock and continue cooking over medium heat until the stock has reduced to two-thirds of a cup. Strain the reduced stock through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, forcing as much of the solids as possible through the sieve. Set aside.
  • While the stock is reducing, blanch the green part of the scallions for a few seconds in boiling salted water, drain and immediately drop into ice water to set the color. Drain again and puree in a blender, adding a few drops of water if necessary. Remove the puree and set aside, covered, until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet to very hot and briefly sear the four reserved scallions. Set aside.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper. Add the peanut oil to the nonstick skillet and sear the fish for a few seconds on one side, turn and sear a few seconds longer on the other side, just until it begins to take on color but is not cooked completely through. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and place in the oven.
  • Bring the reduced stock mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the green scallion puree. Add the lime juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the sauce on each of four warm plates, spreading it to cover the bottom of the plate. Top with a fish filet and place a seared scallion on the fish. Serve at once.

Sesame Crusted Mahi Mahi with Soy Shiso Ginger Butter Sauce image

Provided by Ryan Nomura

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Japanese

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 shallots, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 lemon, juiced
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 shiso leaves
coarse kosher salt
ground white pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
4 tablespoons black sesame seeds

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, flaky mahi-mahi fillets and a good quality honey sesame sauce.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately: Honey sesame mahi-mahi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will be most tender and flavorful this way.

Conclusion:

Honey sesame mahi-mahi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sweet and savory sauce pairs perfectly with the flaky fish, and the whole dish can be made in under 30 minutes. Whether you're a beginner cook or a seasoned pro, you'll love this recipe.
