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.

MAHI MAHI WITH COCONUT RICE AND MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, ginger, green onion, and salt in a bowl. Add the mahi mahi and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
• Bring the rice, water, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir, and simmer uncovered until the rice has absorbed most of the coconut milk.
• While the rice is cooking, remove the mahi mahi from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place fish in a large baking dish in a single layer. Broil in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. If the fish browns too quickly, cover the baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the mixture begins to bubble, stir in mango cubes. Cook and stir until mango is tender, about 5 minutes. Serve by placing a mahi mahi fillet over a scoop of hot rice and top with the mango salsa.

• Stir mayonnaise, soy sauce, and garlic together in a bowl.
• Place mahi mahi in a baking dish. Spoon mayonnaise mixture over the fish, then turn to coat. Sprinkle saltines over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
