Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
6 (3 ounce) fillets mahi mahi fillets
⅓ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 large mango - peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
6 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Cook the fillets in the hot oil until the fish is golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.
To assemble, place a cooked mahi-mahi fillet into the center of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.

Categories Fish

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

MARINADE
4 teaspoons grated lime peel
1/2 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup finely chopped green onions
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup grated gingerroot
3 garlic cloves, minced
FISH
2 lb. mahi mahi fillets, cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

GRILL DIRECTIONS: Heat grill. In small bowl, combine all marinade ingredients; blend well. Place mahi mahi fillets in resealable plastic food storage bag or shallow glass baking dish; pour marinade over fish. Seal bag or cover dish. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate, turning once. Remove fish from marinade; if desired, reserve marinade for basting fish. Place fish on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Brush half of reserved marinade over fish. Cook 4 to 6 minutes. Turn fish; brush with remaining marinade. Cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. If desired, garnish with lime slices.

Tips:

Choose fresh, firm mahi-mahi fillets for best results.
Use a sharp knife to score the fish, allowing the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
When grilling the fish, cook it over medium heat to prevent burning.
Serve the fish with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
Garnish the fish with fresh lime wedges and cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Lime ginger mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The fish is marinated in a flavorful mixture of lime juice, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce, then grilled to perfection. The result is a tender, flaky fish with a bright and zesty flavor. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
