Lemon & Honey Marinated Mahi-Mahi W/ Glaze
- 2 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
- 1 12 tablespoons honey, warm (preferably raw, but pasteurized is fine)
- 1 12 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 12 teaspoon lemon juice
- 12 teaspoon hoisin sauce
- 34-1 tablespoon olive oil
- 18 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 18 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 14 teaspoon ginger powder
- Butterfly cut the mahi-mahi fillets so that they are no more than 1/3 to 1/2 inches (80 to 125 mm) thick.
- In a small bowl combine the red wine vinegar, honey, garlic, and hoisin sauce.
- Stir until uniform.
- Place both the fish and sauce in a large bag and marinate in the fridge for no more than 20 minutes, making sure to coat the fillets evenly.
- *Marinating for longer than 20 minutes will start to break down the proteins in the fish.
- Trust me, you want to avoid that.
- When the fillets are done marinating remove them from the bag and set them aside for now.
- Reserve the marinade in the bag or a small bowl, you'll use it later.
- Heat a medium sized skillet or wok on medium-high heat for 30 seconds (or until a drop of water will instantly boil when added to the pan).
- Add the olive oil and coat the pan evenly.
- As soon as the pan's hot and coated add the fillets.
- Then sprinkle half of the salt, black pepper, and ginger powder onto the fillets, making sure to cover as much of the meat as possible.
- Let the fillets cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds or until you notice the edges of the meat beginning to whiten.
- Cook the fillets until their bottom sides start to caramelize and turn a light golden color (1-2 minutes); flip.
- Sprinkle the remaining salt, black pepper, and ginger powder onto the fillets and continue cooking until each side is golden and each fillet flakes (2-4 minutes, depending on thickness).
- Remove the fillets to a serving plate and cover.
- Add the reserved marinade to the pan and simmer on low heat until the resulting glaze turns a light golden-brown (1-3 minutes).
- *Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to add the fillet drippings to the glaze.
- Spoon the glaze over each fillet and serve.
