Roasted Mahi Mahi with Ginger

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine minced ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the glaze. Set aside.

   Tip: Make the glaze ahead of time for even easier meal prep.

2. 2

   Season both sides of the mahi mahi fillets generously with sea salt and black pepper.

   Tip: Let the fish sit for 2-3 minutes after seasoning to allow flavors to penetrate.

3. 3

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Once hot, carefully place the mahi mahi fillets in the skillet, spacing them evenly.

   Tip: Don't move the fish for the first 3 minutes to develop a golden crust.

4. 4

   Sear the fillets for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown, then carefully flip and sear for another 2 minutes on the second side.

   Tip: Use a fish spatula for easier flipping without breaking the delicate fillets.

5. 5

   Pour the ginger glaze evenly over the seared mahi mahi fillets, making sure each piece is well coated.

   Tip: Reserve a small amount of glaze to drizzle on top after roasting for extra flavor.

6. 6

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork when tested at the thickest part.

   Tip: Don't overcook the fish or it will become dry; check for doneness at the 10-minute mark.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with the pan juices spooned over the top.

   Tip: Serve with steamed bok choy or jasmine rice to soak up the delicious ginger-soy sauce.
