Mahi Mahi with Coconut Rice and Mango Salsa image

A Caribbean-inspired dish with dimensions of sweet, spice and tanginess. Delicious!

Provided by SYRAH4689

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
salt to taste
4 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
2 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon butter
¾ (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ cups fresh mango, cubed

Steps:

  • Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, ginger, green onion, and salt in a bowl. Add the mahi mahi and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Bring the rice, water, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir, and simmer uncovered until the rice has absorbed most of the coconut milk.
  • While the rice is cooking, remove the mahi mahi from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place fish in a large baking dish in a single layer. Broil in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. If the fish browns too quickly, cover the baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the mixture begins to bubble, stir in mango cubes. Cook and stir until mango is tender, about 5 minutes. Serve by placing a mahi mahi fillet over a scoop of hot rice and top with the mango salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mahi-mahi. Look for firm, opaque flesh with no brown spots. The fish should smell briny, not fishy.
  • Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes. This will help to flavor the fish and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked fish is tough and dry.
  • Serve the fish with your favorite sides. Grilled mahi-mahi pairs well with rice, vegetables, and tropical fruits.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi with Thai coconut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The fish is grilled to perfection and the coconut sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
