Tirado De Mahi Mahi Recipes

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.

POTATO CRUSTED MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, mix the potato pearls with the butter, parsley, and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Preheat a flat-top griddle or medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the mahi fillet with the herb butter, salt, and pepper. Top the fillet with the potato pearl mixture. Place the fish on the hot griddle, with the potato pearl side down. Sear on each side until golden brown. Place the fillet in a non-reactive pie pan, and then add 3 tablespoons lime broth, 2 tablespoons water, and the white wine. Place the pan in the oven, and bake for 8 minutes. Remove fish to a large serving bowl with the roasted garlic and remaining lime broth. Top with the fried spinach, and garnish with the lemon and parsley sprig.

GRILLED MAHI-MAHI WITH MOJO

Steps:

• Put the garlic and olive in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is soft and aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is softened.) Stir in the lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the fillets all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner--if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again). Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
• Place a bed of greens on 2 plates. Divide the fish between the plates and brush with some of the mojo. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the sauce.

STEAMED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Cook the rice as the label directs. Meanwhile, fill a large skillet halfway with water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Set the bottom of a stackable bamboo steamer in the water. Sprinkle the scallion whites and 1 teaspoon ginger on a plate that will fit in the steamer basket; set the fish on top and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Set in the steamer basket; cover and cook 8 minutes.
• Line another steamer level with parchment; add the bok choy and carrots and set on top of the fish basket. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 7 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add the chile, garlic, the remaining ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, swirling the pan, until the garlic and ginger start browning, 2 minutes.
• Remove the baskets. Drain any liquid from the fish; cut into 4 pieces. Drizzle the fish and vegetables with the chile oil and soy sauce; top with the scallion greens and season with white pepper. Serve with the rice.

MEDITERRANEAN MAHI MAHI WITH OLIVE AND SHALLOT TAPENADE

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons garlic, and oregano in a small bowl. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub fish with oregano mixture. Cover and chill 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, soak olives in cold water 30 minutes. Drain, and soak in cold water 30 additional minutes. Drain. Chop olives and set aside.
• Place 4 tablespoons oil and chives in a blender; process until combined. Strain chive mixture through cheesecloth into a small bowl, if desired, and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons garlic, thyme, and olives; cook 3 minutes or until heated. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove from heat; cover and keep warm.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sauté fish, skin side up, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn, and sauté 4 to 5 minutes, or until fish flakes with a fork. Place fish on individual serving plates. Spoon olive mixture evenly over steaks, and drizzle with chive mixture. Serve immediately.
