Citrus Glazed Mahi Mahi Recipes

BAKED MAHI MAHI WITH CITRUS GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of butter and when melted, add in the diced red onion. Cook for 1 minute and then add in the rest of your butter and olive oil and then cook for another 2 minutes, letting the butter brown slightly.
• Add in the garlic powder, salt and pepper and the juice and zest of both the lemon and the orange. If you do not want your glaze to be spicy, do not add in the ground red pepper powder but if you do, add that in at this time as well.
• Whisk everything together and bring to a low boil.
• Spoon out 2 or 3 tablespoons of the sauce into a small bowl and add in your cornstarch.
• Whisk to create a slurry and the and to the saucepan, stirring rapidly.
• Reduce the heat and let it simmer.
• Next, spray a cooking sheet with nonstick spray and lightly rub your fish fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place on your cooking sheet and cook for 20 minutes if fresh or 25 minutes if frozen. Your fish should be flaky and opaque.
• Remove from the oven and drizzle with the citrus glaze.
• Garnish with some left over orange zest and chopped parsley.

BAKED CITRUS MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease one or two (you'll probably need two) baking dishes.
• Wash and pat dry Mahi Mahi fillets and lay them in a single layer in the baking dishe(s).
• Drizzle fillets with lemon juice, then melted butter (if using it). Sprinkle evenly with the ginger, salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Place an orange slice over each fillet.
• Evenly pour the crushed pineapple over all the fillets.
• Bake at 375 for about 20-30 minutes or until fillets are opaque; do not overbake.

CUBAN-STYLE ORANGE CITRUS GRILLED MAHI-MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Coat in 1/4 cup of the Cuban Style Orange Citrus Vinaigrette in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the bacon to a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until crispy, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon pieces, leaving the drippings in the pan. Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, 2 cups water, cumin and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat. Cook until the rice is tender and the all water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the beans and bacon pieces.
• Brush the grill grates generously with oil. Place 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.
• Divide the rice and beans among 4 plates. Top each with a piece of mahi-mahi. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Sprinkle with crushed plantains and serve each with a lime quarter.
