Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sesame oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and lime juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
Place the mahi mahi fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes on one side until grill marks appear, then flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.
Drizzle the garlic sesame sauce over the grilled mahi mahi fillets.
Garnish each filet with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
