Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic until the sugar has dissolved.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the mahi mahi fillets into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the prepared brown sugar soy glaze into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Return the mahi mahi fillets to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top to coat evenly. Cook for 2 more minutes, turning the fillets gently to ensure they are well glazed.
Transfer the glazed mahi mahi to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve hot with sides like steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
