Instructions
Creating the perfect Honey Soy Glazed Mahi-Mahi is simple with these step-by-step instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and olive oil. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved and the marinade is well mixed.
- Marinate the Fish:
- Place the mahi-mahi fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the fish.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the fish is marinating.
- Sear the Fish:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Remove the mahi-mahi fillets from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
- Sear the fillets in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust.
- Bake the Fish:
- Transfer the seared fillets to a baking dish.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the fish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once baked, sprinkle the fish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
