So while in Mexico I managed to sneak in a little fishing time. Had a great time and came away with one Dorado (aka Mahi-mahi or dolphin fish). For vanity's sake it is pictured here. We made it for dinner that night as follows in this really easy super delicious recipe we lifted from the our fishing guide. We paired it with a Mexican Sauvignon Blanc (although TMW Riesling would work better :) and it worked swimmingly.
Ingredients:
Mahi-mahi steaks (roughly 6 to 8 ounce steaks-ours were roughly 3/4 inches thick) or one bigger filet if you like
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 3 small limes
1 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix oil, lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper together in a small bowl with a whisk. Brush mixture onto the fish about 15 minutes prior to adding to the grill (the lime juice will start to cook the fish if done much longer). Use about 2/3 of the mixture so you can add some while grilling as well.
Pre-heat the grill on high. Place fish on grill skin side down. Turn heat down to medium low. Baste fish once or twice during the grilling process using all of the remaining goodness. Do not turn over fish during cooking. Cooking time roughly 15 minutes for medium.
A friend threw together a pineapple, tomato and jalapeno salsa to go with it and we served it over rice. Try what you will and let us know what works.
Enjoy!
