A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender mahi mahi fillets glazed with a flavorful honey soy sauce.
In a shallow dish, mix the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a tablespoon of olive oil.
Ensure the honey is well dissolved in the soy sauce for a uniform marinade.
Season the mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
Turn the fillets halfway through marinating for even flavor distribution.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for 20 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Do not marinate for too long as the acidity can start to cook the fish.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the fish to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and cook the fillets in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through.
Flip the fillets only once to maintain their integrity.
Transfer the cooked fish to a serving plate and keep warm.
Cover the fish with foil to retain heat while preparing the glaze.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a boil, cooking until it thickens into a glaze.
Stir constantly to prevent burning and achieve a smooth glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the fish and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
