I got a couple of awesome mahi mahi fillets from the fish guy this morning. Man does it smell fresh. I'm going to grill it with a ginger glaze. I picked up some fresh gingerroot this morning also.
Hmm... Perhaps I should change my mind about this fish? I haven't gone near it since I tried it in Hawaii nearly 30 years ago. It was the worst fish meal I've ever tried to eat!

Here is what I'm going to do. I seldom measure so the measurements are approximate but darned close to accurate. I've made this glaze before and used it on other fish and it's good!
1 1/2lb. fresh mahi mahi fillets (if using frozen thaw first) about an inch thick. 2 tbsp. molasses 2 tsp. soy sauce (I use the reduced sodium but regular is fine) 2 tsp. grated fresh gingerroot 1/2 tsp. minced garlic (I've used the bottled garlic in a pinch-not the same tast but works fine) 1/4 tsp. toasted sesame oil or olive oil or toast the sesame seeds in a drizzle of oilve oil and add it to the glaze. I use toasted sesame oil.
I spray the grill rack with some non stick spray to keep the fillets from sticking and then I preheat the grill to about medium. While the grill is preheating I cut the fillets into generous portions. Then I mix together the molasses, soy sauce, gingerroot, garlic and sesame oil. Let rest for a bit. Grill the fillets for about 10 minutes (5 minutes for less thick fillets) turn once during the grilling process or after about 5 minutes. After turning, brush fillets with molasses mixture during the final 5 minutes of cooking.
I'm serving with steamed asparagus and butter sauteed carrot strips. Dessert is going to be baked pears.

Try mahi mahi again. Hawaii may be paradise, but it's not known as a paragon of good eats.

Well, I don't agree. Eating well in Honolulu does cost but it is available and there are many good Asian-pacific restaurants like "Roy's" etc as well as things like Ruth Chris etc. And remember, we have our own culture of food as well which may not be to your liking but it is interesting, because of our proximity and influence from Japan and China and Thailand etc.
We are 2,800 miles off the US mainland and in the Pacific Ocean and have many cultures and influences and food tastes here.
