A beautiful and healthy dinner, and a little different from your regular seafood meals.
Orange marmalade * sweet chili sauce * garlic * and RUM ** then served over white rice. Yes, I know the recipe is for mahi mahi, but I think you could use any firm fish that's cut into "steaks" or thick filets (i.e. swordfish, halibut, tuna) ** |
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic, chopped (1 clove)
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (this is usually found in the Asian section at the grocery store)
1/4 cup rum (Regular or Dark)
1/2 cup orange marmalade
4 Mahi-Mahi fillets, skinless
Salt and pepper to taste
4 orange slices
2 cups cooked white rice
1/4 cup finely diced cilantro
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, sauté the olive oil and garlic for 3-5 minutes. Mix in the sweet chili sauce, rum, and orange marmalade and stir often until a syrup is formed and all the marmalade is melted, remove from heat. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium high heat. Season the mahi-mahi fillets (salt & pepper to taste) and sear until a nice crust is formed; flip the fish and reduce heat to medium and cook the fish until desired doneness is achieved.
Place rice in center of plate and top with seared mahi; glaze with citrus rum sauce and garnish with chopped cilantro.
