Mahi Mahi Maui Style with Jasmine Rice and Sweet & Sour Sauce

Kroger had a sale on Mahi Mahi so we really stocked up on it.  This is our of our favorite seafood recipes.  We eat this quite frequently.

Mahi Mahi Maui Style 

Ingredients:

3-4 mahi mahi fillets

2 teaspoons butter

2 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce

4 teaspoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Melt the butter and saute garlic until it starts to brown. Remove from heat and whisk in the teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, honey and 1 tsp of the sesame seeds.

Marinate the fillets for 30 minutes while you preheat a grill to 350.

Spinkle fish with remaining sesame seeds

Grill meat side down for about 3 minutes. Flip and grill skin side down for 5-8 minutes, until the fillet hits an internal temp of 140.

Serve with sweet and sour rice and green beans. 

Sweet and Sour Sauce

Ingredients:

1/3 cup white or rice vinegar (Note: rice vinegar gives better results)

4 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 teaspoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water 

Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.

If desired, you can add 1 green pepper, cut into chunks, and pineapple chunks as desired after adding the cornstarch. For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch to 4 teaspoons while keeping the water constant.
