mahi mahi recipes

Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi

(about 1 1/4 cups) coarsely ground, roasted macadamia nuts

panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)

all-purpose flour

butter, melted

Vegetable oil, for brushing foil

Kosher salt and pepper

coconut milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, stir together the nuts, panko, flour, and butter. Set aside.

Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it liberally with vegetable oil. Place the mahi mahi on the foil and sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush each fillet with the coconut milk. Divide the nut mixture among the tops of the 4 fillets, patting the mixture to spread and adhere to the fillets. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.

Just like being in Hawaii.  Used my vacuum sealer to marinate the fish in the coconut milk.  Awesome!

Needless steps. Soak the Mahi for an hour or overnight in coconut milk and refrigerate. Take a foil wrapped shallow pan and coat with roasted peanut oil. Add the fish and topping and cook at 425 for 20 min. Topping will brown. 

Made this for a quick dinner..I just happened to have all of the ingredients in my pantry..tasted so great and so so easy. 

This recipe is so yummy!  I have made it many times and it is always a hit!  As other have recommended I also add coconut (about 1/4 cup) and soak the fish in the coconut milk for about 10 minutes.  

Excellent recipe! I did what some others mentioned and marinated the fish in coconut milk for about an hour before cooking. I also added some shredded coconut to the nut mixture as well as a pinch of cayenne, and substituted coconut oil for the butter. It came out perfectly. My whole family was raving about it. Definitely a keeper!

Added shredded coconut like many others and the mahi was to die for. Had left over crust mixture and put it on a skinless boneless chicken breast and it blew my socks off. Even better than the Mahi.<br />

It was the best mahi I did!! Great recipe! 

This is what I did and I absolutely recommend because this meal was FANTASTIC:<div>Marinated the mahi mahi in coconut milk for an hour</div><div>Salt and peppered the fish and then baked for 5 min Pulled out of oven and topped with nut mixture which was macadamia nuts, Italian style panko breading, coconut flakes (which I have handy in the fridge) cayenne pepper, flour, and butter (I used Trader Joe's ghee only because I don't have a microwave so I can't melt butter)</div><div>Cooked for 10 more minutes/mixture browned</div><div><br /></div><div>Sooo delicious. Paired with white jasmine rice that I added coconut milk to and garlic bread </div><div><br /></div><div>Wow !!</div>

Love this recipe!!! I only had almonds, so crushed those and in lieu of coconut milk I used almond milk. Definitely a keeper.

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Mojo

garlic, chopped

extra-virgin olive oil,

lime juice (about 2 limes)

salt

cilantro leaves

mahi-mahi fillets

olive oil

salt and black pepper

Mixed greens,

Food Network Kitchen’s Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Mojo, as seen on Food Network.

Put the garlic and olive in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is soft and aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is softened.) Stir in the lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt. Set aside until ready to serve. 

Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the fillets all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay 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. 

Place a bed of greens on 2 plates. Divide the fish between the plates and brush with some of the mojo. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the sauce.

Delicious—better than you get at restaurants!

Good recipe.  I modified it to suit our palette-  added a half a jalapeño with seeds removed and more garlic and cilantro and blended it along with the olive oil.  Layered it on the fish to give it a pesto like coating.  Turned out delicious!

LOVED the mojo!  You could put that on anything!  It was amazing with the grilled mahi-mahi and we’re trying it on chicken tonight.  Deeelish!!!

Perfect easy recipe for the fish! Very fresh tasting. 

We loved it. I used a very thinly sliced Napa cabbage instead of mixed greens. I put a small amount of rice wine vinegar on the cabbage. The sweetness of that vinegar was a nice subtle addition. <br /><br />Even if you make it to recipe, it’s perfect. I want to make it again tomorrow. 

This is a beautiful simple fish recipe. We served it with coconut jasmine rice and salad. It was just like on the Big Island at Lava Lava Beach Club!

Se easy, so fast, and so good! My daughter wants this ‘at least once a week’. I think the sauce would be great over pork, shrimp, or chicken too. 

Love it! Added cumin to the fish for some extra yumminess

The Ultimate Fish Tacos

eggs, lightly beaten

water

panko bread crumbs

Vegetable oil,

savoy cabbage, finely shredded

cilantro, leaves picked

chives,

limes,

sour cream

mayonnaise

chipotles in adobo, plus 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce

lemon, juiced

limes

mangoes, diced

red radishes, diced

red onion, diced

chili powder

cilantro, leaves

Prepare the fish. Cut the pieces of fish into 1-ounce strips. Set up a breading station of flour, lightly beaten eggs with water, and seasoned panko bread crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces of fish in flour, egg then bread crumbs. Once all the fish is breaded deep-fry in small batches in (375 degrees F) oil. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Prepare the pink chile mayonnaise. Put the chipotles in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, adobo sauce and lemon juice and continue to process until the mixture is consistent and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare the mango-radish salsa. Remove the peel and pith from the limes and cut between the membranes to remove the segments. Put these "supremes" into a bowl and squeeze over the juice from the membranes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Season and refrigerate until ready to use. You can also place all of the ingredients into a food processor and puree for a smoother salsa.

To serve, set up the tacos "family-style". Assemble the fish in a pile on a plate; the pink chile mayonnaise in a bowl; and mango-radish salsa in another. Set a pile of shredded savoy cabbage, cilantro leaves, chopped chives and lime wedges next to the fish. Toast the corn tortillas lightly over an open flame (on your stove top) and serve.

Killer fish taco’s.  Rather than the flour/ egg batter, I soaked the fish (i used catfish) in buttermilk and fish taco seasoning in the fridge for a few hours.  Then pressed it in the panko.  Incredible flavor.  Mango radish salsa was really delish, I opted to shred the radish and fine dice the rest, good sweet and tangy balance.  Chipotle chili was great, I had a few extra hot peppers on hand and threw them into the mix to kick up the heat.  I shredded the cabbage in my food processor to make it nice and fine. These were a hit.  

Made this recipe 3 times and it’s the best fish tacos I’ve ever had!!

This is my favorite fish taco.  So much flavor. It doesn’t ,tmatter how many times I prepare this dish. It never disappoints!

I did not like sauces, the mango sauce had to much cilantro and was too bitter! Next time I’ll do it I’m not gonna put it in a blender, I’ll just chop it finely by hand because that would prevent cilantro from bleeding into the sauce and make it bitter! <br />The adobo sauce also, I expected it turn into something like fish taco sauce in the restaurant and it wasn’t the same even tiny bit ( maybe they aren’t the sauce at all, I don’t know)

This is an amazing recipe, I have made it more than 50 times.  The pink mayo is what makes it.  I always grill the fish with Mexican spices, no batter, and I have changed the mango salsa a bit over the years to also include avocado. And, we use whatever fish my husband and son catch.  It is the Ultimate for sure.

What great flavors from the fish, mango salsa, and the pink Chile mayonnaise?! I have made this over a dozen times and I realize I need to give credit where credit is due. Always a big hit. Thank you, Tyler Florence. 🙏🏾

So I’m the kind of person that usually follows the recipe exactly as written, especially the first time I make it. Yesterday was hot and humid and I just wanted something easy. For the fish I used Gortons beer battered fish filets and cooked them in the air fryer. Didn’t have mangos so just combined radish and onion with the other ingredients along with the zest of one lime. These were easy and delicious ! Will definitely make them again.

With a firm flesh and mild taste, mahi-mahi (aka dorado) is ideal for intense cooking and lots of bold flavor. Here we brush mahi-mahi fillets with a spicy-sweet glaze made with pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes. The fillets hold up well and are easy to flip on a hot grill, which ensures that the glaze becomes sticky and slightly charred, while locking in moisture so the fish is tender and succulent. A quick salsa of grilled pineapple, charred scallions and fresh mint and cilantro is spooned on top as a nod to the mahi-mahi’s native tropical waters. You can practically feel the warm breeze off the ocean in every bite!

The Best Mahi-Mahi

pineapple

scallions

cilantro leaves, finely chopped

mint leaves, finely chopped

soy sauce

red pepper flakes

garlic,

scallion,

ginger,

lime

mahi-mahi

For the salsa: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat. When hot, brush generously with vegetable oil.

Grill the pineapple rings and scallions (working in batches if using a grill pan), flipping the scallions often, until tender and charred, 3 to 5 minutes total and flipping the pineapple once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Let cool on a cutting board then dice. Toss to combine with the lime juice and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. (The cilantro and mint will be added just before serving.)

For the mahi-mahi: Combine the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, scallion, ginger, lime juice and reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, syrupy and thick, about 6 minutes.

Pat the mahi-mahi dry with paper towels and generously brush the tops of the fish with the glaze; season with a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill glaze-side down, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of the fish with glaze and season with another pinch each of salt and pepper. Flip and grill, undisturbed, until the fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the tops with more glaze.

Divide the fish among plates. Fold the cilantro and mint into the pineapple salsa, then spoon it over the fish. Serve immediately.
