We had the best dinner the other night and I thought I would post the recipes here.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

3 TBSP honey
3 TBSP soy sauce
3 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil
4 (6 oz) mahi mahi filets
salt and pepper to taste
1 TBSP veg oil

1. In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and olive oil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and place them into the dish, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 min to marinate.
2. Heat veg oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Remove fish from dish but reserve marinade. Cook fish for 4-6 min per side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fish fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.
3. Pour reserved marinade into skiller and heat over med heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistency. Spoon glaze over fish and serve.

Coconut Rice

1 cup coconut milk (will use a smidge more next time to keep rice creamy)
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp sugar
1 cup long grain white rice
3 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro

In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, salt and sugar. Bring to boil (be careful will boil over). Add the rice, stir well, ans reduce heat to med-low. Cover and simmer undisturbed until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy, about 20-24 min. Remove from heat and let sit without stirring for 10 min. Fluff with fork and add cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste.

We also had steamed asparagus with this meal. The mahi glaze was wonderful on the rice too. Altogether yummy and pretty easy.
