Remember the grilled pineapple salsa I posted a few weeks back?
This fish is DYN-O-MITE with it.
Mahi Mahi has firm, dense flesh that stands up well to grilling. It’s also a sustainable choice if it is wild caught in the US atlantic (which mine is!).
Wanna know if your seafood choices are sustainable? Check this out!
If you don’t own one already, a microplane/ rasp (the weirdo grater thingy pictured above) should be on your ‘list of kitchen essentials’.
Trust me. You will want to zest citrus fruit for a living.
(In the event you do not have one, a fine cheese grater works).
Making a mess! On our coffee table!
Shhh… don’t tell my neat-freak hubs.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons liquid honey
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions (about 2)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)

Note
When marinating fish or seafood, be mindful of the time. If your marinade contains any type of acid (citrus juice or vinegar), marinating longer than 20 minutes or so will 'cook' your seafood and it may become tough.
Directions
1. | Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. |
2. | Place fish in a shallow dish or a sealable plastic bag and cover with marinade. Let stand for 15-20 minutes. |
3. | Transfer mahi mahi fillets to a well oiled grill over medium-high heat (375 - 400 F). Brush the tops with reserved marinade. Grill for about 4 minutes. Turn fillets over, brush with additional reserved marinade and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes. |
4. | Serve over a salad or with rice and top with your condiment of choice. |

I’m loving this recipe, just by reading how the fish is being prepared. I love mahi mahi as well as the other ingredients especially the pineapple. I would eat this in a heartbeat, but I can’t say the same for the other member of this household. Nothing personal, Erin. Fish just IS NOT on everyone’s favorite food list. This one is “definitely” on mine though! Thanks for sharing!
