  1. Sake Shoyu Glazed Mahi Mahi
    with Spicy Chinese Long Beans and Mango Lilikoi Vinaigrette

    Ingredients:
    Six, 6 oz Mahi Mahi fillet
    1/2 cup Soy Sauce
    1/2 cup Sake or Mirin
    1/2 Maui Onion (or Spanish onion)
    1/2 cup Fresh Ginger, minced
    1 tsp Sambal olek (or crushed red pepper)
    1 tsp Sesame Oil
    1 lb Fresh Chinese Long Beans, cut into 3" length
    1 btl Gallagher’s Island Mango Lilikoi Vinaigrette
    Salt and Pepper to taste

    Garnish
    Black and White Sesame Seeds, toasted
    Red Tobiko Caviar (Flying fish roe)
    Fresh Chopped Parsley

    Method:
    Place soy sauce, sake, onion, ginger, sambal olek, and sesame oil into a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Marinate the mahi mahi for 1 hour in soy sauce mixture.
    In a hot pan, sear the fish until golden brown over high heat. Remove the fish, and place on a sheet pan, and bake in a 400 degree oven until the fish is cooked to desired temperature, about 6 to 8 minutes. Deep fry the beans in 350 degree oil and toss in 1/2 of the Mango Lilikoi Vinaigrette.

    Presentation
    Place equal amounts of the beans in the center of 6 plates. Place the fish on top of each plate and drizzle the remaining Mango Lilikoi Vinaigrette around the plate. Garnish each fish with a sprinkle of the sesame seeds and parsley. Place 1/2 tsp of the caviar on top of each fish.

    Yields six (6) servings.

  4. I love mahi-mahi because the fillets are so steak-like. My favorite way to prepare them is to broil them, and ladle mango salsa over them.
