17 BEST MAHI MAHI RECIPES

Steps:

• In a skillet large enough to hold the four pieces of Mahi Mahi, bring it to medium heat and add 1 Tablespoon of butter and 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. Once melted and brought up to heat, set the Mahi Mahi in the pan and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Once the fish has turned golden, flip to the other side and repeat - it should take about 4-5 minutes per side. Be sure not to mess with it too much while it's cooking so that it doesn't fall apart.
• When cooked, remove the fish, and set it on a plate using a spatula with a good edge to prevent tearing of the Mahi Mahi.
• Add 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil to the pan and place in the asparagus - be sure to break off the ends first. Cook until it is tender, around 2-5 minutes, season liberally with salt and pepper, then put on a plate.
• In the skillet, add 2 Tablespoons of butter. Once it melts, add in the 3 cloves of minced garlic and ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
• Cook for around a minute until fragrant, then add in the zest and juice of one lemon along with the 1 Tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, place your Mahi Mahi and asparagus back in, and spoon the sauce over both.
• Serve with a little more parsley sprinkled on top for a beautiful, delicious, and healthy dinner!

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.
