A delightful and flavorful dish featuring mahi mahi fillets glazed with a honey-soy mixture, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Combine the honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a ziploc bag.
Mix the marinade ingredients thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
Add the mahi mahi fillets to the bag and seal it, ensuring the fish is coated with the marinade.
Press out as much air as possible from the bag to maximize contact between the fish and marinade.
Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the fish marinate for 2 hours.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure the fish marinates evenly.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the fish inside for even cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Use a skillet that can transition from stovetop to oven to simplify the cooking process.
Remove the fish from the marinade and place it in the skillet, being cautious of splattering oil.
Pat the fish dry with a paper towel before searing to achieve a better crust.
Sear the fish for 5 minutes on one side without moving it.
Avoid flipping the fish too soon to allow a golden crust to form.
Flip the fish over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Use oven mitts when handling the hot skillet to prevent burns.
Bake the fish in the oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Check the fish for doneness by ensuring it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the fish hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair the fish with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
