Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Place the mahi mahi fillets into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium and pour the prepared brown sugar soy glaze into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Step 6
Return the mahi mahi fillets to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top to coat evenly. Cook for 2 more minutes, turning the fillets gently to ensure they are well glazed.
Step 7
Transfer the glazed mahi mahi to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Step 8
Serve hot with sides like steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
