LEMON & HONEY MARINATED MAHI-MAHI W/ GLAZE

Steps:

• Butterfly cut the mahi-mahi fillets so that they are no more than 1/3 to 1/2 inches (80 to 125 mm) thick.
• In a small bowl combine the red wine vinegar, honey, garlic, and hoisin sauce. Stir until uniform.
• Place both the fish and sauce in a large bag and marinate in the fridge for no more than 20 minutes, making sure to coat the fillets evenly. *Marinating for longer than 20 minutes will start to break down the proteins in the fish. Trust me, you want to avoid that.
• When the fillets are done marinating remove them from the bag and set them aside for now. Reserve the marinade in the bag or a small bowl, you'll use it later.
• Heat a medium sized skillet or wok on medium-high heat for 30 seconds (or until a drop of water will instantly boil when added to the pan).
• Add the olive oil and coat the pan evenly.
• As soon as the pan's hot and coated add the fillets. Then sprinkle half of the salt, black pepper, and ginger powder onto the fillets, making sure to cover as much of the meat as possible.
• Let the fillets cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds or until you notice the edges of the meat beginning to whiten.
• Cook the fillets until their bottom sides start to caramelize and turn a light golden color (1-2 minutes); flip.
• Sprinkle the remaining salt, black pepper, and ginger powder onto the fillets and continue cooking until each side is golden and each fillet flakes (2-4 minutes, depending on thickness).
• Remove the fillets to a serving plate and cover.
• Add the reserved marinade to the pan and simmer on low heat until the resulting glaze turns a light golden-brown (1-3 minutes). *Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to add the fillet drippings to the glaze.
• Spoon the glaze over each fillet and serve.

MAHI MAHI WITH BROWN-SUGAR SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Cut white and pale green parts of scallions crosswise into 2-inch pieces, then thinly slice enough scallion greens to measure 3 tablespoons.
• Stir together brown sugar, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook fish on 1 side until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn fish over and brown 1 minute. Add soy sauce mixture and simmer, covered, until fish is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer fish with a slotted spatula to a heatproof platter and keep warm in oven. (Fish will cook through from residual heat.).
• Add 2-inch scallion pieces and juices from fish platter to sauce and boil, stirring occasionally, until glaze is very thick and reduced to less than 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Spoon glaze over fish and sprinkle with scallion greens.

GINGER GLAZED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. Fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. Spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately.

GARLIC-LEMON MAHI FILETS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Stir the white Zinfandel wine, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Place the mahi mahi fillets in the bowl and turn to coat with the wine mixture; allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
• Remove the fillets from the marinade, shaking off any excess moisture from the fish. Discard the marinade.
• Grill the fillets on the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
