Honey Mustard Glazed Mahi Mahi with Brown Rice and Grilled Zucchini
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.

Step 2: Marinate the Mahi Mahi
Pour half of the glaze over the mahi mahi fillets and let marinate for 10 minutes.
