Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Mahi Mahi fillets
• 2 tablespoons (finely grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole (juiced) Lime
• 2 stalks (finely chopped) Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and lime juice to create the ginger glaze. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden-brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the prepared ginger glaze.

Step 6

Cook the glaze for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until it slightly thickens.

Step 7

Return the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 8

Allow the fillets to simmer gently in the glaze for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Ginger Glazed Mahi immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
