THE BEST MAHI-MAHI
With a firm flesh and mild taste, mahi-mahi (aka dorado) is ideal for intense cooking and lots of bold flavor. Here we brush mahi-mahi fillets with a spicy-sweet glaze made with pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes. The fillets hold up well and are easy to flip on a hot grill, which ensures that the glaze becomes sticky and slightly charred, while locking in moisture so the fish is tender and succulent. A quick salsa of grilled pineapple, charred scallions and fresh mint and cilantro is spooned on top as a nod to the mahi-mahi's native tropical waters. You can practically feel the warm breeze off the ocean in every bite!

Steps:
- For the salsa: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat. When hot, brush generously with vegetable oil.
- Grill the pineapple rings and scallions (working in batches if using a grill pan), flipping the scallions often, until tender and charred, 3 to 5 minutes total and flipping the pineapple once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Let cool on a cutting board then dice. Toss to combine with the lime juice and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. (The cilantro and mint will be added just before serving.)
- For the mahi-mahi: Combine the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, scallion, ginger, lime juice and reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, syrupy and thick, about 6 minutes.
- Pat the mahi-mahi dry with paper towels and generously brush the tops of the fish with the glaze; season with a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill glaze-side down, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of the fish with glaze and season with another pinch each of salt and pepper. Flip and grill, undisturbed, until the fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the tops with more glaze.
- Divide the fish among plates. Fold the cilantro and mint into the pineapple salsa, then spoon it over the fish. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl; season with a pinch of salt and set aside. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne in a small dish; sprinkle and rub all over the fish, then season on both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Toast the buns cut-side down on the grill until lightly marked, 30 seconds to 1 minute; set aside. Add the fish to the grill and cook until lightly charred and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom buns, then spread with some of the ketchup sauce. Top each with a lettuce leaf, some sliced onion, a slice of pineapple and a piece of fish. Generously spread the top buns with more ketchup sauce and place on top of the sandwiches.

Tips for the Best Mahi-Mahi with Fresh Pineapple Salsa
- Choose fresh mahi-mahi fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.

- Cook the mahi-mahi over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Make the pineapple salsa just before serving. This will ensure that the salsa is fresh and flavorful.
- Serve the mahi-mahi with the pineapple salsa and your favorite sides. Rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.
