Photo: Grilled Mahi-Mahi, Ceviche-Style Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 skinless mahi-mahi fillets, approximately 2 pounds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
Directions
Rub the fillets with kosher salt and set aside. In a non-reactive bowl, combine the onion, lime juice, orange juice, jalapeno, sugar and tequila. Mix to dissolve the sugar, and add the fillets to the bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning the fillets once after 1 hour. Remove the fillets from the marinade and set it aside. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and lightly coat with the olive oil.
Heat a grill to high and place the fillets over direct heat until they are just cooked through - opaque at the center but still moist, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. While the fish is grilling, transfer the reserved marinade to a saucepan and heat until it is reduced to about 3/4 cup. Using tongs, remove the fillets to serving plates and divide sauce equally among them. Top with the cilantro

Excellent. I used frozen mahi and it was delicious. My husband said it was restaurant quality. (We eat at really good restaurants.
It was simple and quick to prepare. I'm adding it yo my regulars.

My husband is super picky right now trying to eat less red meat and chicken and more fish - but so picky! He absolutely loved this! We also made Kelsey's quinoa recipe with the coconut milk and lime juice and it was so yummy! I agree that the fresh cilantro really makes it. I also put some fresh cilantro in the quinoa too. You have to try this!

I never grilled fish before so this was a little intimidating at first to me. I couldn't find fresh Mahi Mahi in my area so I went with Atlantic Salmon filets instead. It turned out better than I expected and I even had a friend eating it(and she hates fish. She bragged to her mother about how wonderful it was(also hates fishand she talked me into making it again. Needless to say I had it twice within three days. Awesome recipe! And super easy!
