2 tablespoons
olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
salt to taste
4 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
2 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
3/4 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 cups fresh mango, cubed
1. Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic,
red pepper flakes, black pepper, ginger, green onion, and salt
in a bowl. Add the mahi mahi and toss to evenly coat. Cover
the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator
for 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack in the middle
of the oven.
3. Bring the rice, water, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon
butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to
medium-low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed,
about 20 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and 2 tablespoons
of sugar. Stir, and simmer uncovered until the rice has absorbed
most of the coconut milk.
4. While the rice is cooking, remove the mahi mahi from the
marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place fish in a large baking dish in a single layer. Broil in
the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork,
10 to 15 minutes. If the fish browns too quickly, cover the
baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
5. Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the mixture begins
to bubble, stir in mango cubes. Cook and stir until mango is
tender, about 5 minutes. Serve by placing a mahi mahi fillet
over a scoop of hot rice and top with the mango salsa.
