Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for oiling the grill grates
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus whole leaves, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 5- to 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets
Lime wedges and cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Heat the oil and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Sprinkle the mahi-mahi generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and cook until it releases from the grill and has grill marks, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes more.
  • Divide the fish among 4 plates and spoon some of the garlic-lime oil over top. Serve with lime wedges and cooked white rice and the remaining sauce on the side. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

Provided by Guy Fieri Bio & Top Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, sliced into coins
1 serrano pepper, seeds removed and minced
1 tablespoon roughly chopped garlic
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup fresh Thai basil, chiffonade
4 (6-ounce) portions mahi mahi
1 leek, white part only, cleaned and julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned
2 large carrots, peeled and julienned
1 lime, sliced into rings, plus 1 lime, cut into wedges, for garnish
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In an ovenproof non-glass baking dish (11 by 8-inch), combine the coconut milk, stock, fish sauce, lime juice, ginger, serrano, garlic, cilantro, and Thai basil. Add the fish, turn to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Remove the fish from the marinade and reserve. Add the vegetables to a small ovenproof dish and cover with the marinade. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked, drain the marinade/cooking liquid into a small saucepot and place over medium-low heat to reduce.
  • Pat the fish dry and strain as much liquid from the vegetables without damaging them. In the center of a piece of parchment, place 1/4 of the vegetables, top with 1 portion fish, and 1 slice fresh lime and fold the parchment around the fish and vegetables like a package. Secure with the kitchen string and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the packets to individual serving plates, cut open to reveal, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, thick mahi-mahi fillets for the best results.
  • Make sure to marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with flavor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the fish in a grill pan or on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • Serve the grilled mahi-mahi with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil.
  • If you like your fish spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry and tough.
  • Store leftover grilled mahi-mahi in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare. With its mild flavor and firm texture, mahi-mahi is a versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways.
