1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root

If the fillets have skins, put them in the dish with the skin down. This mahi mahi recipe has to be marinated for 20 minutes. Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet (heat is medium to high). Remove the fish from the marinade. Keep the marinade in reserve.

Fry the fish for 8 minutes (4 minutes per side). Turn the fish over once. Cooked properly, the fish should flake easily with a fork. Put the fillets on a serving plate. Pour the marinade in the skillet over medium heat. Keep heating until the glaze becomes consistent. Pour over the fish.
