Best Curried Mahi Mahi Kebabs Belize Recipes

THE BEST MAHI-MAHI

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.

• 6. Cut the papaya into 1-inch cubes. peel the plantain and cut across into 1-inch pieces.
• 7. Preheat the grill to high, or heat coals until they glow red, with white ash around the edges.
• 8. Take the fish cubes from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off; reserve the marinade.
• 9. Thread the fish onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of papaya and plantain. Do not crowd ingredients on the kebabs, but leave a little space between so they will cook evenly.
• 10. Rub a lightly oiled towel or cloth over the grill, add the kebabs to the hot grill and cook until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush a little marinade over the kebabs, then turn and continue cooking until the fish is opaque through, about 5 minutes.
