Steps:
- In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.

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

Tips:
- Choose the freshest mahi-mahi fillets possible. Look for fillets that are firm and have a bright pink color. Avoid fillets that are dull or have brown spots.
- Make sure the grill is hot before cooking the mahi-mahi. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will also help to create a nice sear.
- Don't overcook the mahi-mahi. Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooked mahi-mahi will be dry and tough.
- Serve the mahi-mahi immediately after cooking. This will help to ensure that the fish is at its best.
Conclusion:
Grilled mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. With its mild flavor and flaky texture, mahi-mahi is a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of sides. Whether you serve it with grilled vegetables, rice, or a simple salad, grilled mahi-mahi is sure to be a hit.
