Description
A delightful pan-seared mahi mahi dish glazed with a sweet and savory pineapple teriyaki sauce, perfect for any seafood lover.
Ingredients
- 4 mahi mahi fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully sear each mahi mahi fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and fully cooked. Remove the fillets and set them aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken.
- Continue to simmer until the glaze reaches a syrupy consistency, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the fresh pineapple chunks to the glaze, simmering for an additional minute.
- Spoon the delicious pineapple glaze over the seared mahi mahi.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider adding panko breadcrumbs before searing. Customize the glaze by adding a splash of sriracha for heat.
