Grilled Hawaiian Mahi Mahi Foil Packets Food

THE BEST MAHI-MAHI

Steps:

• For the salsa: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat. When hot, brush generously with vegetable oil.
• Grill the pineapple rings and scallions (working in batches if using a grill pan), flipping the scallions often, until tender and charred, 3 to 5 minutes total and flipping the pineapple once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Let cool on a cutting board then dice. Toss to combine with the lime juice and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. (The cilantro and mint will be added just before serving.)
• For the mahi-mahi: Combine the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, scallion, ginger, lime juice and reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, syrupy and thick, about 6 minutes.
• Pat the mahi-mahi dry with paper towels and generously brush the tops of the fish with the glaze; season with a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill glaze-side down, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of the fish with glaze and season with another pinch each of salt and pepper. Flip and grill, undisturbed, until the fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the tops with more glaze.
• Divide the fish among plates. Fold the cilantro and mint into the pineapple salsa, then spoon it over the fish. Serve immediately.

GRILLED MAHI MAHI SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl; season with a pinch of salt and set aside. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne in a small dish; sprinkle and rub all over the fish, then season on both sides with salt and black pepper.
• Toast the buns cut-side down on the grill until lightly marked, 30 seconds to 1 minute; set aside. Add the fish to the grill and cook until lightly charred and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom buns, then spread with some of the ketchup sauce. Top each with a lettuce leaf, some sliced onion, a slice of pineapple and a piece of fish. Generously spread the top buns with more ketchup sauce and place on top of the sandwiches.

GRILLED MAHI-MAHI WITH MOJO

Steps:

• Put the garlic and olive in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is soft and aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is softened.) Stir in the lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the fillets all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner--if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again). Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
• Place a bed of greens on 2 plates. Divide the fish between the plates and brush with some of the mojo. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the sauce.
