Tips for Experienced Cooks

To elevate the dish, consider adding a dash of lime zest to the glaze for a bright, acidic pop that complements the mahi mahi. Additionally, experiment with grilling techniques such as using cedar planks for the mahi mahi to infuse a subtle smoky flavor. High-quality, aged soy sauce can also make a significant difference in the depth of flavor in your glaze. Finally, for an aromatic touch, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Step 1: Prepare the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step 2: Marinate the Mahi Mahi

Pour half of the glaze over the mahi mahi fillets and let marinate for 10 minutes.

  • 4 mahi mahi fillets

Step 3: Grill the Zucchini

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the zucchini slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the zucchini slices for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until tender.

  • 2 zucchini (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step 4: Cook the Mahi Mahi

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mahi mahi fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
