Equipment

  • 1 large skillet non-stick
  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

Mahi Mahi and Glaze

  • 4 mahi mahi fillets skinless
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat dry the mahi mahi fillets with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice. Whisk together until the honey is fully dissolved.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Place the fillets in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Pour the prepared glaze over the fish in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and allow the glaze to thicken slightly while basting the fish.

Serving

  • Transfer the glazed mahi mahi to a serving platter. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
