Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) mahi-mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks (finely sliced) green onions
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 2
Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the mahi-mahi fillets to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without disturbing until golden brown.
Step 4
Flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the honey-soy mixture over the fillets, evenly coating them. Allow the fillets to cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top occasionally, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the fillets and remove the skillet from heat.
Step 6
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
