Grilled Mahi Mahi brochette
The Mahi Mahi means very strong in Hawaiian, here in the DR it's called Dorado and dorade coryphène in french! This is a white firm flesh fish.
We find it here most part of the year, and it's a great fish! it doesn't have a strong flavor so it's very easy to make your kids like fish. The first time we gave it to our girls they thought it was chicken. So a total hit.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds mahi-mahi or as the locals here in the DR call it Dorado or dorade coryphène in french!
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh coriander and lime salsa
- 1 medium onion chopped (½ cup)
- 1 garlic glove finely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Clean your fish and make sure you don't have any fish bones. Divide the fish into 6 fillets. Rub with the garlic and olive oil, sprinkle the salt and pepper. Then divide your fillet into 6 cubes and put them into a brochette bamboo sticks or skewers, you will have two brochettes per guest.
Prepare the salsa
- Chop the garlic and cilantro, mix with the oil, lime, salt and pepper. Reserve until service.
- Oil the grill rack before you grill your fish to prevent from sticking. In a medium high flame, grill your fish for about 4 minutes per side. Don't over cook it! it will be dry!
- We serve this fish with roasted veggies, fries or green plantain chips! And some lime wedges!
- Enjoy!
