This is so good! I looked for a good recipe for maple glaze for chicken or fish or *whatever* that had the ingredients that I had on hand, but I just couldn't find the right one, so I created this extremely simple recipe myself and it was a success. I guess sometimes, to find the right answers, you have to look within!

Provided by shelliediman

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
2 4oz. Mahi-Mahi filets rinsed and patted dry

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium high heat. Stir maple syrup, Cajun seasoning and garlic powder together in small bowl. Brush maple syrup over filets. Cook in hot oil till fish flakes easily with fork about 3-5 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and efficiently.
  • Choose Fresh Mahi-Mahi: The fresher the fish, the better the dish will taste. Look for mahi-mahi that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Don't Overcook the Fish: Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flaky, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Use a Well-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the fish. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet.
  • Make Sure the Oil is Hot: When you add the fish to the skillet, make sure the oil is hot enough to sizzle. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Maple-cajun mahi-mahi can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Maple-cajun mahi-mahi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet maple syrup and savory cajun spices creates a unique and flavorful crust on the fish. Served with your favorite sides, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
