Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons (finely grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 2 stalks (finely chopped) Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and lime juice to create the ginger glaze. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden-brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the prepared ginger glaze.
Cook the glaze for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until it slightly thickens.
Return the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them, ensuring they are well-coated.
Allow the fillets to simmer gently in the glaze for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the Ginger Glazed Mahi immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
