Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
Season the Mahi Mahi fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the skillet until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the seared Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the citrus glaze over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and coat the fish in the glaze.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of orange zest before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
