- In a pot, heat the butter until melted.

- Grill the fish on high, uncovered, until the internal temperature registers 130 to 135 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Do not move the fish prematurely or it will stick. Only use a thin, metal fish spatula to flip.
- Put a piece of fish on each bottom bun and top with Pickled Escovitch Peppers and shredded lettuce. Add a schmear of Mango Aioli on the top buns, close and eat!
- Combine the vinegar, sugar, honey, thyme, tarragon and some salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the peppers and onion. Let cool to room temperature.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, mango chutney and lime zest and juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
GRILLED MAHI MAHI
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.

- 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.
