Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.25 cup Pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks (optional, for garnish) Green onions, sliced
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, pineapple juice, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse the fish. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.
When ready to cook, remove the Mahi Mahi fillets from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the fillets in the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
