Sweet and Sour Mahi Mahi

This recipe is a combination of a couple of recipes I have tried in the past. My husband and I like fish, and I am always looking for a healthy way to prepare it.

Sweet and sour mahi mahi is an Asian-inspired dish and I think you will enjoy the complex tastes involved. I am sure the marinade would be good on other types of fish, such as salmon, or on chicken. This fish is very good served over a bed of rice, and it looks rather impressive, too. Enjoy!

Prep Time: 5 minutes (allow 30 minutes for marinating)
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

4 (6 ounce) mahi mahi filets
3 TBSP honey
3 TBSP balsamic vinegar
3 TBSP soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and olive oil together. Season fish filets with salt and peppers and place them (skin side down, if applicable) into a shallow dish. Pour the mixture over the fish and place in the refrigerator to marinate for approximately 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove fish from the dish and reserve the marinade. Place fish (skin side down, if applicable) in a shallow baking pan (I use a jellyroll pan lined with Reynolds Release Foil; this makes clean up easy and keeps the fish from sticking). Place in oven and cook for about 20 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork.

While the fish is cooking, pour reserved marinade in a small sauce pan. Place over medium low heat and reduce the mixture to a glaze (it is done when it coats the back of a spoon).

When fish is done, place on serving platter and drizzle with glaze. Serve immediately.
