Categories Mahi Mahi

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 mahi mahi fillets, 6-8 ounces each
salt
pepper
2 limes, juiced
3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
2 inches gingerroot, grated (fresh, about 1.5 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
1 lb asparagus spear
2 oranges (naval)
1 inch gingerroot
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

Fish: 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.
Asparagus: 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.

Tips:

To ensure your mahi-mahi fillets are cooked evenly, opt for fillets of uniform thickness. If needed, use a sharp knife to slice thicker portions of the fillet horizontally, creating two thinner fillets.
Before searing the mahi-mahi, pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the fish develop a nice, crispy crust.
Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a nonstick pan for searing the mahi-mahi. This will help prevent the fish from sticking and ensure even cooking.
When searing the mahi-mahi, avoid moving the fillets around too much in the pan. Allow them to sear undisturbed for a few minutes until a golden crust forms, then carefully flip and sear the other side.
To make the asparagus more flavorful, roast it with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes.
The almond sauce is a great way to add a creamy and nutty flavor to the dish. To make the sauce, simply blend together almonds, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.

Conclusion:

This recipe for mahi-mahi with asparagus and almond sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection, the asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the almond sauce is creamy and rich. Serve this dish with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
