GRILLED MAHI MAHI



Grilled Mahi Mahi image

This recipe is great either on the grill or in the oven broiler. The tomatoes give it a little bite. My entire family loves it, even my pickiest eater. In the winter I make this dish in my oven or broiler. The amounts I gave are approximate. I use two cans of tomatoes when I want more 'bite,' only one can when I want less. I like a lot of garlic so I generally use a lot.

Nice blend of flavors for this fish. This was a recipe I altered some from a cooking magazine. This recipe may also be broiled. Leftovers are even better the next day if you have any left.

Categories     Mahi Mahi

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup chopped of fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 anaheim chili, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
6 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
cracked pepper

Steps:

  • With mortar and pestle, mash garlic and salt to form paste; place in a gallon bag.
  • Add rum, lime juice, mint, cilantro, peppers, oil, honey, lime peel, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • Add fish; turn and rub to distribute marinade evenly.
  • Refrigerate for no more than 30 minutes so fish doesn't break down.
  • Place fish on grill over medium heat or 4 to 6 inches from coals.
  • Grill 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes.
  • Turn once and spoon remaining marinade over fish halfway through grilling time.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Mahi-Mahi: Look for firm, plump fillets with a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has an off odor.
  • Marinate the Fish: Marinating the mahi-mahi in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances its taste and keeps it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the Fish Properly: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the mahi-mahi for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use Good-Quality Bread: Choose a sturdy bread that can hold up to the grilled fish and toppings. Ciabatta, focaccia, or whole-wheat buns are all good options.
  • Load Up on Toppings: Grilled mahi-mahi sandwiches are a great opportunity to get creative with toppings. Try adding avocado, salsa, coleslaw, or a squeeze of lime juice.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi sandwiches are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your sandwiches simple or loaded with toppings, grilled mahi-mahi is a versatile fish that is sure to please everyone.
