I had the pleasure of trying some Mahi Mahi last month and I loved it. It is actually very good and I was surprised. It is easily available as are most of the ingredients in this recipe. And look! There is my balsamic vinegar again. Have I mentioned how much I love it?

INGREDIENTS

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

DIRECTIONS

1. In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. Fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.

3. Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. Spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately.

For a non-salmon lover like myself, this recipe sure does sound tasty. There is a hunk of salmon in the freeze and I am thinking about trying this recipe out on it. All the stuff that it calls for is always available in at least my home. Maple syrup? Everyone has that! Try this out.


INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound salmon

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, garlic salt, and pepper.

2. Place salmon in a shallow glass baking dish, and coat with the maple syrup mixture. Cover the dish, and marinate salmon in the refrigerator 30 minutes, turning once.

3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake salmon uncovered 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork.

I think I am in the mood for fish, don't you? All the recipes that I am looking at and the ones that seem to jump out to me and sound good are all fish related recipes! That is ok though right? The protein in fish is awesome and fish in general is just so delicious and you can work it a lot different ways. Like this recipe here, sesame tilapia!

INGREDIENTS

2 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the tilapia in a bowl, and drizzle with the sesame oil. Season with the garlic, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper. Cover, and marinate at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. Transfer the tilapia and marinade to a baking dish, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

I have been looking for a lot of different ways to cook salmon differently so that I can learn to like it. I had no idea that you could BBQ it so this is an interesting recipe for me to share with you all. It sounds delicious as well. Who doesn't like to BBQ anyway?

INGREDIENTS

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 dash liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 (4 pound) whole salmon fillet

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat grill for high heat.

2. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, honey, liquid smoke, and vinegar.

3. Brush one side of the salmon with the basting sauce. Place the salmon on the grill, basted side down. After about 7 minutes, generously baste the top, and turn over. Cook for about 8 more minutes, then brush on more basting sauce, turn, and cook for 2 minutes. Take care not to overcook the salmon as it will loose its juices and flavor if cooked too long.
