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.

Steps:
- Peel the mango, cut into slices, and drop into the feed tube of a running blender to puree. Add the rice wine vinegar, cilantro, garlic, ginger, water, oil, mustard, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
- Bring chicken stock to a simmer. In a separate large saucepan on an adjacent burner, heat the olive oil and add the shallots and the rice. Lightly saute: you actually are toasting the rice. Cook until the rice becomes translucent and the shallots become soft, stirring constantly. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan. Begin slowly adding the warm stock, 1 ladle-full at a time, to the rice pan, stirring as you go. This will bring out the starch in the rice and make the mixture creamy. As the mixture absorbs the broth, ladle more into the pot. When the first ladle of stock has been absorbed into the rice, add the pinch of saffron. When all of the stock has been ladled into the rice pot, slowly simmer until the rice is soft and creamy. Stir the butter into the risotto for more flavor and creaminess. Set aside, keeping warm until needed.
- Heat a saute pan for the fish. Rub fish fillets with oil, salt and pepper. Place in pan, skin side facing up. Turn the fish over after 3 to 4 minutes. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until done. Do not overcook the fish. It is done when the flesh springs back. Remove the fish to a utility platter. Place a mound of risotto on each plate. Top with mahi-mahi. Drizzle some mango sauce around the plate and top with chopped scallions.

SEARED MAHI-MAHI W RISOTTO & MANGO SAUCE
We were trying to find some more fish recipes (something other than salmon) for the kids and we stumbled upon some great recipes on the Food Network website using mahi-mahi. Being our first time cooking mahi-mahi, we had to do a little more research than usual because we didn't to want to ruin such nice fish as these (okay they were on the expensive side; $13 for less than a pound). Because they were such nice cuts, I thought I would attempt a classic dish with sauce and presentation to equal fine dining (haha, I got a good chuckle reading that back again). Anyways, I only tweaked one major thing with this dish and that's the risotto. In place, I just used regular sticky rice and added diced shallots and butter to resemble the original dish and it worked out fairly well. Besides this, the other steps were followed as is and you can find the original recipe down below.

Tips:
- For the freshest flavor, use ripe mangoes. If mangoes are not in season, you can use frozen mango chunks, thawed.
- To make the mango sauce, you can use a food processor or blender. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can finely chop the mango and onion by hand.
- If you don't have jasmine rice, you can use another type of long-grain white rice, such as basmati rice.
- To make the fragrant rice, be sure to rinse the rice well before cooking. This will help to remove the starch and prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
- When searing the mahi-mahi, be sure to use a non-stick skillet and cook the fish over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and will give it a nice sear.
- The mahi-mahi is cooked through when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Conclusion:
This seared mahi-mahi with mango sauce and fragrant rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The combination of the sweet and tangy mango sauce with the savory fish and fragrant rice is sure to please everyone at your table. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
