GRILLED MAHI MAHI WITH CAPER, TOMATO, BEARNAISE SAUCE



Grilled Mahi Mahi With Caper, Tomato, Bearnaise Sauce image

The first time I made this I used packaged bearnaise sauce, It was quick and good however it doesn't compare to real bearnaise sauce with fresh tarragon. Only warm the tomatoes do not cook them. For a real taste treat combo serve this with barbecued bacon wrapped asparagus.

GRILLED MAHI-MAHI WITH MOJO



Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Mojo image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 17m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves plus 2 sprigs for garnish
Two 5- to 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mixed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the garlic and olive in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is soft and aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is softened.) Stir in the lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the fillets all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner--if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again). Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
  • Place a bed of greens on 2 plates. Divide the fish between the plates and brush with some of the mojo. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the sauce.

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.

Grilled Cumin-Scented Mahi-Mahi image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 one-pound mahi-mahi fillets, skinned
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
2 medium-size ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Run your hand lightly over the mahi-mahi fillets and if you feel any little bones sticking up, pull those pin bones out with a tweezer or small pliers.
  • Mix the cumin, olive oil, half the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Add the fish, turning it over once to coat both sides, then cover and refrigerate the mahi-mahi for about two hours.
  • While the fish is marinating, toast the cumin seeds by tossing in a hot skillet until they give off a rich aroma. Transfer to a small dish and mix with the tomato and remaining lemon juice. Season to taste with cayenne pepper and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill.
  • Grill the mahi-mahi, turning it once, until the fish is nicely seared and just cooked throughout. Remove it from the grill with a spatula and put on a platter. Sprinkle the fillets with the reserved cumin seed, tomato and lemon juice mixture and serve hot or at room temperature.
