Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving, allowing a golden crust to form.
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the fish is almost cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared glaze over the fish. Use a spoon to baste the fillets with the glaze while cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and flaky.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed Mahi Mahi to serving plates.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
