Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and coconut milk to make the marinade.
Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour half of the marinade over the fish, ensuring it’s fully coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later use. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the fish is marinating, heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the Mahi Mahi fillets from the marinade and carefully place them onto the hot grill pan or skillet. Discard the marinade used for the fish.
Cook the fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small saucepan, bring the reserved half of the marinade to a gentle simmer over low heat. Allow it to reduce slightly to create a flavorful sauce, stirring occasionally.
To assemble, place the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets on a plate. Drizzle the reduced sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes for a touch of heat (if desired).
Serve immediately with steamed rice or a side of grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
