SERVES:
2

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 6-7 ounce skinless mahi mahi fillets (1-inch thick is good)

  • Lightly oiled baking dish (a glass pie dish works well)

  • 3 Tbs light brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 3/4 cup canned pineapple juice (from the canned pineapple pieces)

  • 1/2 cup chopped canned pineapple

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion

  • 1 heaping Tbs finely chopped, peeled fresh ginger

PROCEDURE:

For two servings, use a small pot to combine 3 Tbs of light brown sugar and 1/4 cup soy sauce as well as 3/4 cup of canned pineapple juice and reduce that by half.

While that is cooking down, take a few minutes to chop 1/4 cup green onions and finely mince a heaping Tbs of fresh peeled ginger and also finely chop about 1/2 cup of canned pineapple.

Once the teriyaki sauce has reduced by half, turn the heat off on that and then add the minced ginger, green onions and pineapple.

Turn the oven to the broiler setting, making sure that there is an oven rack on the highest shelf underneath the broiler, and then spoon some of the teriyaki sauce over the top of the mahi...in a baking dish....and place the baking dish on the oven rack under the broiler.

You can also plan ahead and cook off a pot of rice to serve with the mahi and you'll want to keep your eye on it and spoon more of the teriyaki over it as it is broiling.

Depending on the thickness of the mahi, it could take 15-20 minutes....or even a little bit longer....to cook through.

HINTS:

This is just as good with salmon fillets or even trout or tilapia……but the cooking times will vary with each different fish. This should make enough teriyaki for up to 4 servings but, if you're making more than the two servings suggested here, you can add a little more of the ingredients for the teriyaki to be sure.
