Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) mahi-mahi fillets
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 2 stalks (finely sliced) green onions
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice until well combined.

Step 2

Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the mahi-mahi fillets to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without disturbing until golden brown.

Step 4

Flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the honey-soy mixture over the fillets, evenly coating them. Allow the fillets to cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top occasionally, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the fillets and remove the skillet from heat.

Step 6

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
