Re: Mahi Mahi

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.

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.

Sounds like an awesome recipe and plan, Michael! I'm always looking for new
and interesting ways of preparing fish; this is a keeper. Thanks for
sharing!
