SWEET & SPICY MAHI-MAHI W/MANGO & BLACK BEAN SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat your grill at medium high heat. Begin by making the marinade for the mahi-mahi. Combine in a small bowl the jerk seasoning, pineapple juice, cayenne and cumin. Pour over the mahi and make sure the steaks are evenly coated. Set aside and start making your salsa. In a medium bowl, take the mango and cut the fruit into a small dice. Add your strained and rinsed black beans to the bowl, along with jalapeno pepper, red onion, lime juice, and mint. Gently toss with a spoon to combine and flavor with salt and pepper. Set aside but keep the salsa at room temperature. Take your sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2' rounds. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper until lightly coated. When ready, place the sweet potatoes directly on the grill rack. Grill on one side for about 8-10 minutes. When you flip them over, add your fish steaks to the grill also. Cook steaks on one side for approximately 5-7 minutes. Flip them over (very carefully) and at that time your potatoes should be fork tender and ready to take off the heat. When fish is done, remove from grill. Serve each steak with 1/4 salsa and the grilled sweet potatoes.

SWEET AND SOUR MAHI-MAHI

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk in 1/4 cup of water. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. When the sauce thickens lightly, remove it from the heat. It can be used warm or at room temperature.
• Drizzle the lime juice and soy sauce evenly over the fish pieces and let them sit for several minutes. Place the bread crumbs on a plate. Warm 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet. When a few bits of bread crumbs sizzle merrily and brown quickly in the oil, drain each piece of fish and coat it with the bread crumbs. Saute the fish on all sides until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the fish flakes, about 5 minutes total. Serve the mahi-mahi immediately with the sauce drizzled over it or on the side for dunking. Serve with Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water for more pizzazz.

SEARED MAHI MAHI WITH GRILLED MANGO-PINEAPPLE SALSA, GREEN RICE, AND BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Make the Green Rice: Combine the water and rice in saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Season the water with salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. Set the rice aside, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chimichurri. Set aside, covered, until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, make the Black Beans: Heat the oil in the saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the black beans and sugar. Bring to boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Set aside, covered, until ready to use.
• Make the Salsa: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Grill the pineapple rings, turning once, until charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer the rings to a cutting board and chop.
• In a bowl, combine the pineapple, mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, olive oil, ginger, jalapeno, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. (The salsa can be prepared up to 2 days in advance.)
• Make the mahi mahi: Arrange the fillets in baking pan, season with salt and pepper, and rub with the zest. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and heat the butter and oil. Working in batches, if necessary, sear the halibut fillets, turning once, until well browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide the rice and beans among the center of 6 plates, top with the fillets, and spoon some the salsa over each.
• In a food processor, pulse the onion until finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer the onion to a bowl. Add the olive oil, parsley, cilantro, oregano leaves, garlic, and lime juice and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the herb mixture to the bowl of onion and stir to combine. Season the chimichurri with salt and pepper.

MAHI MAHI Y MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir brown sugar with the onion; cook until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Add mango, pineapple, and red wine; simmer until hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Return skillet to stove.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet. Season mahi mahi steaks with salt and black pepper. Coat steaks entirely with blackening seasoning. Cook steaks in hot oil until until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Plate the steaks and top with the mango salsa to serve.

GRILLED MAHI-MAHI WITH BLACK BEAN SALSA

Steps:

• Place the soy sauce, orange juice, ketchup, honey, lime juice, garlic, basil, oregano, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until the honey is completely dissolved. Pour the marinade into a re-sealable plastic bag with the fish fillets and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Toss the tomatoes, scallions, black beans, cilantro, jalapeno, and the lime juice in a medium bowl. Add some salt to taste and set aside to let the flavors develop.
• Oil your grill grates with canola oil to help prevent sticking. If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to high. Grill the fish for 5 to 6 minutes on a side, turning carefully using a turner large enough to support the entire piece of fish, until browned, firm and flaky. Serve with the black bean salsa and lime wedges.
• Indoor Variation: To cook on a grill pan on the stovetop, heat the grill pan over high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fish with oil and place on the hot grill pan. Oiling the fish instead of the pan will limit the amount of smoke. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
