Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
salt to taste
4 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
2 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon butter
¾ (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ cups fresh mango, cubed

Steps:

  • Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, ginger, green onion, and salt in a bowl. Add the mahi mahi and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Bring the rice, water, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir, and simmer uncovered until the rice has absorbed most of the coconut milk.
  • While the rice is cooking, remove the mahi mahi from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place fish in a large baking dish in a single layer. Broil in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. If the fish browns too quickly, cover the baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the mixture begins to bubble, stir in mango cubes. Cook and stir until mango is tender, about 5 minutes. Serve by placing a mahi mahi fillet over a scoop of hot rice and top with the mango salsa.

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.
