make this now

let's say it's 4pm tuesday and you haven't even thought about dinner yet. and you certainly haven't gone to the store. you want something super easy. and really good.

this is it.

a big thank you to my friend, jess, for sharing the recipe!

ginger glazed mahi mahi 

  • 3 tablespoons honey  *i only used two tablespoons
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger root
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil  *i used one teaspoon of toasted sesame oil
  • 4 fillets (6 oz. each) mahi mahi  *i used hake
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
  • salt and pepper

in a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. if the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.

heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. cook fish for 4-6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.

pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately.
