Lime Ginger Mahi Mahi Recipes

LIME-MARINATED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, lime juice, and grated lime zest together in a bowl to make the marinade.
• Place the mahi mahi fillets in the marinade and turn to coat; allow to marinate at least 15 minutes.
• Cook on the preheated grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Garnish with the twists of lime zest to serve.

SOFT MAHI MAHI TACOS WITH GINGER-LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Cook the fillets in the hot oil until the fish is golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.
• To assemble, place a cooked mahi-mahi fillet into the center of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.

LIME-GINGER GRILLED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Whisk together all ingredients except Mahimahi.
• Brush marinade on steaks.
• Cook in grill basket over hot (400 degrees) coals for 16 - 18 minutes, turning over once.

MAHI-MAHI WITH GARLIC-LIME OIL

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Heat the oil and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisk to combine and set aside.
• Sprinkle the mahi-mahi generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and cook until it releases from the grill and has grill marks, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes more.
• Divide the fish among 4 plates and spoon some of the garlic-lime oil over top. Serve with lime wedges and cooked white rice and the remaining sauce on the side. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

MAHIMAHI WITH GINGER-SOY SAUCE AND STIR-FRIED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Mix first 10 ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Press each fillet into coriander seeds to coat all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over high heat. Add 3 fillets and sear until brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 fillets and 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet. Bake until just cooked through, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer fish to plates.
• Toss Stir-fried Vegetables with 2 tablespoons sauce. Divide vegetables among plates. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

MAHI-MAHI IN GINGER SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim the roots from the scallions. Reserve four of the scallions. Cut the white part off the remaining scallions and chop finely. Trim the green of any wilted leaves and slice into one-inch lengths.
• Place the sesame oil in a medium-sized saucepan along with the white part of the scallions and the shallots, and cook over low heat until they soften but do not take on any color. Add the ginger and chicken stock and continue cooking over medium heat until the stock has reduced to two-thirds of a cup. Strain the reduced stock through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, forcing as much of the solids as possible through the sieve. Set aside.
• While the stock is reducing, blanch the green part of the scallions for a few seconds in boiling salted water, drain and immediately drop into ice water to set the color. Drain again and puree in a blender, adding a few drops of water if necessary. Remove the puree and set aside, covered, until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
• Heat a nonstick skillet to very hot and briefly sear the four reserved scallions. Set aside.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Add the peanut oil to the nonstick skillet and sear the fish for a few seconds on one side, turn and sear a few seconds longer on the other side, just until it begins to take on color but is not cooked completely through. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and place in the oven.
• Bring the reduced stock mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the green scallion puree. Add the lime juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the sauce on each of four warm plates, spreading it to cover the bottom of the plate. Top with a fish filet and place a seared scallion on the fish. Serve at once.

GARLIC-LIME MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Combine and whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, ground ginger, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Using aluminum foil, form an open "packet" to allow fish to sit in garlic-lime mixture for easier grilling.
• Coat bottom of foil with cooking spray or butter to prevent fish from sticking.
• Place the fish in the packet and brush with about half of the dressing and reserve the rest.
• Place packet on the grill, and cook to desired temperature, flipping only once.
• Brush mahi mahi steaks once again with the remaining dressing after flipping.
