Mahi Mahi In Mojo Sauce Recipes

MAHI-MAHI WITH GARLIC-LIME OIL

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Heat the oil and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisk to combine and set aside.
• Sprinkle the mahi-mahi generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and cook until it releases from the grill and has grill marks, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes more.
• Divide the fish among 4 plates and spoon some of the garlic-lime oil over top. Serve with lime wedges and cooked white rice and the remaining sauce on the side. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

MOJO MAHI MAHI WITH TOASTED QUINOA

Steps:

• For the mojo: Place the lime juice and zest, orange juice and zest, olive oil, oregano, shallots, cumin, capers, garlic, cilantro, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a blender and puree until smooth. Put half aside for serving as a sauce with the finished fish and the rest in a large plastic resealable bag.
• For the mojo mahi-mahi: Add the mahi-mahi fillets to the bag with the mojo and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Set a grill to high and grease well with oil to clean and create a nonstick surface. Remove the fish from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and drizzle liberally with olive oil. Grill until well marked and cooked through, 4 minutes per side. Serve the fish over the Toasted Quinoa and drizzle with the reserved mojo. Garnish with Tomato Mango Cucumber Relish and Grilled Red Cabbage Salad.
• Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain. Place a large pot over medium-high heat and add the quinoa. Toast until fragrant while swirling it around so it doesn't burn, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a plate and set aside. Return the pot to the heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden and browned on the edges, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Return the quinoa to the pot and add the broth, wine and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the quinoa has popped open and the liquid has been completely absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk the lemon zest and juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes. Just before serving, toss the quinoa with the dressing.
• Toss the olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, tomatoes, cucumber, mango, shallot, 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a mixing bowl and let rest for 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to come together.
• Combine the rice vinegar, miso paste, lime juice, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, chili flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl and whisk to emulsify.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Oil and season the cabbage wedges with salt and pepper. Place the cabbage on the grill and cook until marked on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. While the cabbage is still warm, drizzle it with the white miso dressing so it soaks it up and the flavors marry together. Toss the cabbage with the carrots, scallions and raisins.

MAHI MAHI IN MOJO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1 preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 2-season fish with salt, pepper and lemon, and place in a glass baking dish.
• 3 pour all the other ingredients over the mahi mahi. Cook at 350 for 25 minute.

MAHI MAHI WITH ASPARAGUS AND ALMOND SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, stirring frequently, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Combine the toasted almonds, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, honey, mustard, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the parsley.
• Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon water, the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste on the same baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and broil until the asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
• Sprinkle the fish with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and arrange on the same baking sheet, rounded side down; broil until opaque, about 3 minutes. Turn the fillets, brush with some of the almond sauce and continue broiling until just firm and cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes. Divide the fish and asparagus among plates and top with the remaining almond sauce.

THE BEST MAHI-MAHI

Steps:

• For the salsa: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat. When hot, brush generously with vegetable oil.
• Grill the pineapple rings and scallions (working in batches if using a grill pan), flipping the scallions often, until tender and charred, 3 to 5 minutes total and flipping the pineapple once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Let cool on a cutting board then dice. Toss to combine with the lime juice and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. (The cilantro and mint will be added just before serving.)
• For the mahi-mahi: Combine the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, scallion, ginger, lime juice and reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, syrupy and thick, about 6 minutes.
• Pat the mahi-mahi dry with paper towels and generously brush the tops of the fish with the glaze; season with a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill glaze-side down, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of the fish with glaze and season with another pinch each of salt and pepper. Flip and grill, undisturbed, until the fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the tops with more glaze.
• Divide the fish among plates. Fold the cilantro and mint into the pineapple salsa, then spoon it over the fish. Serve immediately.

MAHI-MAHI SAUTE WITH GRAPEFRUIT MOJO RECIPE

Steps:

• For the mojo: Combine the citrus zests and juices with the onion, garlic, vinegar and olive oil in a medium nonreactive bowl and stir to mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange the mahi-mahi fillets in a shallow dish and spoon half of the grapefruit mojo over the fish. Reserve the remaining mojo for serving. Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 2 hours. For the mofongo: Heat the oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick. Fry the plantain slices in batches over medium-high heat until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Wipe out the skillet, add the bacon and fry until crisp. Add the shrimp and garlic and continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Put the mixture in a food processor, add the plantain slices and pulse just until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mofongo to a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, cover to keep warm and set aside. For the black bean purée: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet, add the garlic, onion and Scotch bonnet and sauté over medium heat until tender and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the black beans and chicken broth and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 minutes. Puree the mixture in blender or food processor until smooth, season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. Cover to keep warm. Heat the oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick. Take the fish from the mojo marinade and sauté over medium-high heat until just opaque through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. To serve, ladle the warm black bean purée onto individual plates and mound the shrimp mofongo in the center. Lean the fish fillets against the mofongo and drizzle the remaining mojo sauce over the fish. Garnish the plates with grapefruit slices and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings. Along with his wife, Maryann, Chef Blitz recently opened a second, more casual restaurant, called Mojo, refering to the Cuban sauce/marinade of the same name. Mojo is traditionally made with sour oranges, garlic, onions and olive oil, but here the chef interprets the sauce with grapefruit and lime. Mofongo is a Puerto Rican dish based on plantains (starchy cooking bananas), usually with fried pork rinds, here with shrimp and a touch of bacon.
