Best Sweet Mahi Mahi Recipes

SWEET SESAME MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Toss the pineapple, cilantro, red onion, and lime juice together in a bowl until evenly mixed; set aside.
• Rub the mahi mahi fillets with the sesame oil to lightly coat.
• Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over one side of each fillets; gently press the seeds into the fish to assure they stick.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Lay the fillets with the seeded side down into the hot oil; cook for 4 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with the pineapple mixture.

SWEET AND SOUR MAHI-MAHI

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk in 1/4 cup of water. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. When the sauce thickens lightly, remove it from the heat. It can be used warm or at room temperature.
• Drizzle the lime juice and soy sauce evenly over the fish pieces and let them sit for several minutes. Place the bread crumbs on a plate. Warm 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet. When a few bits of bread crumbs sizzle merrily and brown quickly in the oil, drain each piece of fish and coat it with the bread crumbs. Saute the fish on all sides until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the fish flakes, about 5 minutes total. Serve the mahi-mahi immediately with the sauce drizzled over it or on the side for dunking. Serve with Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water for more pizzazz.

SWEET & SPICY MAHI-MAHI W/MANGO & BLACK BEAN SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat your grill at medium high heat. Begin by making the marinade for the mahi-mahi. Combine in a small bowl the jerk seasoning, pineapple juice, cayenne and cumin. Pour over the mahi and make sure the steaks are evenly coated. Set aside and start making your salsa. In a medium bowl, take the mango and cut the fruit into a small dice. Add your strained and rinsed black beans to the bowl, along with jalapeno pepper, red onion, lime juice, and mint. Gently toss with a spoon to combine and flavor with salt and pepper. Set aside but keep the salsa at room temperature. Take your sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2' rounds. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper until lightly coated. When ready, place the sweet potatoes directly on the grill rack. Grill on one side for about 8-10 minutes. When you flip them over, add your fish steaks to the grill also. Cook steaks on one side for approximately 5-7 minutes. Flip them over (very carefully) and at that time your potatoes should be fork tender and ready to take off the heat. When fish is done, remove from grill. Serve each steak with 1/4 salsa and the grilled sweet potatoes.

Add the egg whites and spices to another shallow dish and whisk until frothy. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a saute pan. Place each fillet of fish first into the egg white mixture and then into the yam mixture, pressing the potatoes in as much as you can. Place 2 fillets in the hot pan and cook until potatoes are browned and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Repeat with the other tbsp of oil and 2 fish fillets. Serve over sauteed greens.
