BEK'S GRILLED MAHI MAHI FILLETS IN SOY GINGER MARINADE (OAMC)



Bek's Grilled Mahi Mahi Fillets in Soy Ginger Marinade (Oamc) image

This is a mild, Asian-inspired marinade that complements the mild flavor of Mahi Mahi. Great summer dish, I'm sure it would be good on any mild fish. OAMC chefs, double or triple the marinade as needed and freeze in family-sized portions - I use my vacuum sealer. **As with many of my original recipes, the ingredient amounts are approximate. Adjust to your preferences. As always, let me know if you make any substitutions or tweaks - I always like new ways to try old favorites! (Cooking time does not include marinating time.)

2 tablespoons dry red wine
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a 1 gallon zipper bag, combine all ingredients except fish. Squish to combine. Add mahi and seal, refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • OAMC - squeeze all air out of zipper bag, or seal in a vacuum sealer and store in the freezer. Defrost and grill, following instructions below.

Trust yourself on the grill, based on the thickness of your fillets - don't blindly use my timing! An overcooked fish is a sad fish.

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.

TERIYAKI MAHI MAHI



Teriyaki Mahi Mahi image

After trying a few mahi mahi recipes, this one is definitely my favorite. This glazed mahi mahi is good with rice, vegetables or salad. Blotting the fillets before cooking allows a nice brown crust to form. Cod or halibut can be used, too. -Michelle Ibarrientos, Torrance, California
