Steps:
- For the sauce: Put the oil in a large pot with the onion and garlic. Saute over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the onion and garlic are soft, then add the coriander, cumin, curry powder and thyme. Mix until the spices start to stick to the pot, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mango and mix until the spices loosen from the bottom of the pot, then add the tamarind juice and coconut milk. Lower the heat to medium-high and cook about 5 to 10 minutes, then add the salt and pepper and turn the heat down to medium. Cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the sauce has reduced by 25 percent, it¿s ready; transfer it to a bowl and set it aside.
- For the marinade: Place all of the ingredients, except for the oil, in a food processor. With the processor running, add the oil slowly until the mixture forms a paste. Transfer the marinade to a large bowl. Cut the mahi mahi into 6-inch portions and then rub each piece of fish with marinade until well coated. Take a banana leaf and lay it flat, then wipe it with a wet, warm towel. Lay a piece of fish on top of the leaf and fold the leaf over it. Repeat with the remaining leaves and fish. Chill the wrapped fish pieces in the refrigerator for 2 hours, then steam them in a steamer until the fish and juices turn white, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut each piece in half, leaving it in the leaf, and pour the sauce over each serving. Serve with rice or any other starch.
BANANA LEAF MAHI MAHI WITH CITRUS AND CHILES
In the Yucatan region of Mexico, fish is commonly seasoned with spices like achiote, and wrapped in banana leaves to be grilled or roasted. In this recipe, we coat the filets with an aromatic citrus chile mixture made with cumin and oregano.

Steps:
- Put the chiles in a bowl, cover with boiling water and soak until pliable, about 15 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the soaking liquid, then drain the chiles.
- Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, oregano and cumin and cook until the onion is soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender along with the reserved chile soaking liquid, the chiles, orange juice, lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; blend until smooth.
- Unfold the banana leaves and cut into six 12-inch-long pieces; rinse and pat dry. Place a banana leaf shiny-side down on a work surface. Coat the fish generously with the pureed chile mixture. Place 1 mahi mahi fillet in the center of the leaf and top with a slice each of orange and lime. Fold 2 opposite ends of the leaf over the fish, overlapping them to tightly enclose the fish, then tuck the open ends underneath. Transfer to a large roasting pan or baking dish. Repeat to make 5 more banana leaf-wrapped fillets, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator and let the fish marinate 1 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and cover tightly with foil. Bake until the fish is just cooked through, opening a packet to check for doneness, about 35 minutes. Transfer to plates and carefully unwrap just before eating.
THE BEST MAHI-MAHI
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!

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil and butter in an oven-proof pan over low heat until butter is melted. Remove from the heat.
- Beat eggs in a small, shallow dish. Mix Parmesan and flour in a second shallow dish.
- Season mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into Parmesan mixture to coat both sides. Lay each fillet into the melted butter mixture, then turn each piece over to coat. Sprinkle macadamia nuts evenly over each fillet.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 11 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Place each fillet on a serving plate and top with 1/4 cup mango salsa.

BAKED MAHI MAHI
I have used this method for fresh albacore, yellowtail, and dorado (mahi mahi). I am sure it would work for any firm white fish. Don't fear the mayonnaise! I was inspired by other delicious fish dishes that contained mayonnaise to create this quick simple preparation of fresh fish. My 2-year-old and my 4-year-old both ask for more!
