Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 large (peeled, pitted, and diced) Ripe mango
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Blend until smooth to create the mango-ginger glaze.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mango-ginger glaze to the skillet and bring it to a simmer.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove the glaze from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Brush the thickened mango-ginger glaze generously over the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets during the last minute of cooking, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Drizzle any remaining glaze on top.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with your favorite sides such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
