Mahi Mahi with Ginger

Ingredients

3 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt and pepper
1 clove garlic (crushed)
4 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root

Directions

Combine the honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, ginger and soy sauce in a glass dish. Flavor the fish fillets with pepper and salt. Put the fillets in the dish.

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.
