Citrus Glazed Mahi Mahi Recipes

CITRUS GLAZED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 550 degrees.
• Put the fish in a baking dish.
• Spray with avocado oil spray and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 7-10 minutes.
• While the fish is cooking, heat the orange marmalade, 2-3 tablespoons of orange juice, and red pepper flakes in a sauce pan.
• Once the fish is done, top with the sauce and garnish with orange zest.

CUBAN-STYLE ORANGE CITRUS GRILLED MAHI-MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Coat in 1/4 cup of the Cuban Style Orange Citrus Vinaigrette in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the bacon to a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until crispy, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon pieces, leaving the drippings in the pan. Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, 2 cups water, cumin and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat. Cook until the rice is tender and the all water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the beans and bacon pieces.
• Brush the grill grates generously with oil. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner -- if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again.) Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
• Divide the rice and beans among 4 plates. Top each with a piece of mahi-mahi. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Sprinkle with crushed plantains and serve each with a lime quarter.

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.

BAKED CITRUS MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease one or two (you'll probably need two) baking dishes.
• Wash and pat dry Mahi Mahi fillets and lay them in a single layer in the baking dishe(s).
• Drizzle fillets with lemon juice, then melted butter (if using it). Sprinkle evenly with the ginger, salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Place an orange slice over each fillet.
• Evenly pour the crushed pineapple over all the fillets.
• Bake at 375 for about 20-30 minutes or until fillets are opaque; do not overbake.

CITRUS-GLAZED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Season the Mahi Mahi on all sides with salt and black pepper. Grill on high heat until caramelized. Coat the fish in 1 ounce of the citrus glaze. Finish in the oven until medium to medium well, and let stand for 5 minutes.
• In a large sauce pot, bring all ingredients to a simmer. Slowly reduce to one quart. NOTE: Reducing too fast at too high of a heat may cause the glaze to become bitter. The more surface area, the better and faster it will reduce. When reduced, strain through a chinois, cool, and reserve for use.
• Puree all ingredients, except for the cream, in a blender on low speed until almost smooth, Stopping and stirring when needed if the mixture becomes stiff. On low speed, slowly add the cream in a small stream and increase the speed until the mixture has become thick and smooth (whipping the cream in the mixture until stiff). Season with Kosher salt to taste, remove from the blender, and reserve chilled.
• While the fish is resting, bring a medium saute pan to high heat. Add the oil, kale, and garlic. Saute until the kale has begun to wilt. Add the tomatoes and citrus and saute until just warmed through, approximately 1 minute. Season with Salt to taste.
• To Serve: Place 1.5 ounces of the avocado mousse in a circle on the left center of the plate. Evenly divide half of the kale mixture on the right center of the plate. Put the Mahi Mahi in the center of the plate (reheat in the oven if necessary). Place the remaining kale mixture over the back corner of the fish. Drizzle 1 ounce of citrus glaze around the fish. Top with micro greens, and serve!
