Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 cups (shredded) Napa cabbage
- 1 medium (shredded) Carrot
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onion
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for toasting buns) Butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, wasabi paste, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the Napa slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Napa cabbage, shredded carrot, and sliced green onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil to create the slaw dressing. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture, toss well, and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the Mahi Mahi fillets from the marinade and grill them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Optional: Spread butter on the sandwich buns and toast them on the grill until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a Mahi Mahi fillet on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a generous serving of the Napa slaw, then place the top bun on each sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Wasabi Infused Mahi Mahi Sandwich with Napa Slaw!
