Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.25 cups Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cups Red wine
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the pan, skin-side up if applicable.

Step 3

Sear the fillets for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the balsamic vinegar, red wine, and chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the honey and let the sauce simmer for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced and thickened slightly.

Step 7

Return the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the tops. Let the fish warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the fillets with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve the Mahi Mahi fillets immediately, drizzled with the balsamic wine sauce. Pair with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
