Grilled soy and ginger mahi mahi is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this mild-flavored fish. Mahi mahi, also known as dolphinfish, is a popular seafood choice because it is low in calories and fat and high in protein. It is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart health. The combination of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in this recipe creates a flavorful marinade that infuses the fish with a delicious taste. When grilled, the mahi mahi becomes tender and flaky, with a slightly crispy exterior. Served with a side of rice or vegetables, this dish makes for a satisfying and nutritious meal.

BEK'S GRILLED MAHI MAHI FILLETS IN SOY GINGER MARINADE (OAMC)



Bek's Grilled Mahi Mahi Fillets in Soy Ginger Marinade (Oamc) image

This is a mild, Asian-inspired marinade that complements the mild flavor of Mahi Mahi. Great summer dish, I'm sure it would be good on any mild fish. OAMC chefs, double or triple the marinade as needed and freeze in family-sized portions - I use my vacuum sealer. **As with many of my original recipes, the ingredient amounts are approximate. Adjust to your preferences. As always, let me know if you make any substitutions or tweaks - I always like new ways to try old favorites! (Cooking time does not include marinating time.)

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs mahi mahi fillets (4 medium)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced (I use jarred)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons dry red wine
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a 1 gallon zipper bag, combine all ingredients except fish. Squish to combine. Add mahi and seal, refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • OAMC - squeeze all air out of zipper bag, or seal in a vacuum sealer and store in the freezer. Defrost and grill, following instructions below.
  • Spray grill with non-stick cooking spray, the preheat to 475°F Cook fillets about 4 minutes on the first side, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness. Trust yourself on the grill, based on the thickness of your fillets - don't blindly use my timing! An overcooked fish is a sad fish.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 portions, 6 to 8 ounces each, mahi mahi fillets
Salt and pepper
2 limes, juiced
3 tablespoons dark tamari soy sauce
2 inches fresh ginger root, grated, about 1 1/2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
20 blades fresh chives, chopped or 3 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
1 to 1 1/4 pounds thin asparagus spears
2 navel oranges
1-inch fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat grill pan to over medium high to high heat. Season mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper. Combine the lime juice, dark soy, ginger and a little vegetable or canola oil in a shallow dish. Turn the mahi mahi in the citrus soy marinade and let it hang out for 10 minutes. Grill on hot grill pan for 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch fillet or until fish is firm and opaque.
  • Take 1 spear of asparagus and hold it at each and. Bend the asparagus until it snaps and breaks. Use this spear as your guide on where to trim the ends of your bundle of spears. Using a peeler, make thin long strips of orange zest from both oranges. Cut the ends off the zested oranges and stand them up right on a cutting board. Remove the pith in strips using sharp knife and cutting down from the top of the orange. Discard the pith. When the oranges are both peeled and trimmed, turn them on their sides and slice into 1/4-inch rounds, cross sectioning the whole. Set the orange disks aside. In a skillet with a cover, bring 1-inch water to a boil with the zest of the oranges and grated fresh gingerroot. Allow the orange zest and ginger to simmer for at least 1 minute then add salt and asparagus spears. Simmer the spears 3 to 5 minutes until just tender. Drain the asparagus. Discard the orange zest and ginger. Assemble a few spears on each dinner plate, layering them back and forth, crisscrossing the spears over orange slices. Sprinkle sesame seeds over asparagus and oranges and top with 1 portion of grilled mahi mahi. Garnish assembled fish and asparagus with chopped or thinly sliced chives.

Mahimahi with Ginger-Soy Sauce and Stir-Fried Vegetables image

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Onion     Bake     Lime     Cilantro     Soy Sauce     Coriander     Bon Appétit     Texas

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup water
4 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced jalapeño chili
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
6 6-ounce skinless mahimahi fillets
1/3 cup coriander seeds, crushed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Stir-fried Vegetables

Steps:

  • Mix first 10 ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Press each fillet into coriander seeds to coat all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over high heat. Add 3 fillets and sear until brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 fillets and 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet. Bake until just cooked through, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer fish to plates.
  • Toss Stir-fried Vegetables with 2 tablespoons sauce. Divide vegetables among plates. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Mahi-Mahi: Look for firm, bright-colored fish with clear eyes and a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a Flavorful Marinade: Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey create a savory and slightly sweet marinade that infuses the fish with flavor.
  • Grill Over Medium-High Heat: This will help sear the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Cook Until Flaky: The fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve with a Simple Sauce: A drizzle of lemon juice or a dollop of tartar sauce complements the grilled mahi-mahi perfectly.

Conclusion:

Grilled soy and ginger mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey, then grilled over medium-high heat until flaky. Serve with a simple sauce and your favorite sides for a complete meal.
