Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
• 1 large (peeled, pitted, and diced) Ripe mango
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Blend until smooth to create the mango-ginger glaze.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mango-ginger glaze to the skillet and bring it to a simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove the glaze from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Brush the thickened mango-ginger glaze generously over the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets during the last minute of cooking, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Drizzle any remaining glaze on top.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with your favorite sides such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
