Grilled Mahi Mahi<\/strong> served with Korean dipping sauce is this week’s Friday Favorites<\/a> pick. And if you like the idea of grilled fish with Korean flavors I hope you try this recipe. This was one of the first grilled fish recipes I posted on the blog!<\/p>\n

Now the frozen Mahi Mahi I get at Costco is my choice for cooking on the grill. This Grilled Mahi Mahi recipe includes a soy-sesame sauce with a touch of sweetness and a touch of spiciness from Korean red pepper. Half the mixture is used to marinate the fish, and the other half is served as a sauce at the table.<\/p>\n

I made the Korean dipping sauce just slightly spicy, but turn up the heat by adding a bit more of the Korean Red Pepper Powder<\/a> (affiliate link) if you prefer. And personally I think grilled fish is great for dinner any time of year, so make this on a Stovetop Grill Pan when it’s not grilling season!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mahi Mahi fillets or other firm mild fish<\/li>\n
  • soy sauce or Gluten-Free Soy Sauce<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Unseasoned Rice Vinegar<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • sesame oil<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Golden Monkfruit Sweetener<\/a> (affiliate link) or low-carb sweetener of your choice<\/li>\n
  • Garlic Powder<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Korean Red Pepper Powder<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • green onions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Why Mahi Mahi is good to cook on the grill:<\/h2>\n

    Mahi Mahi is a relatively firm fish, which makes it easy to cook on the grill compared to softer and more flaky fish. And the mild flavor goes with a variety of sauces and toppings.<\/p>\n

    What gives this Grilled Mahi Mahi the Korean flavors?<\/h2>\n

    I’m definitely not claiming this is an authentic Korean recipe! I’m using the word Korean in the title as a tip for you to use Korean Red Pepper Powder<\/a> (affiliate link) in the dipping sauce. That will give it amazing flavor with a nice spicy kick! (If you don’t have that another type of spicy red pepper powder will work.)<\/p>\n

    How to keep grilled fish from sticking to the grill:<\/h2>\n

    Fish can be tricky to cook on the grill, but I love a non-stick spray called Pam for Grilling<\/a>, (affiliate link) which really helps prevent food from sticking. You can also oil your grill with a paper towel dipped in olive oil.<\/p>\n

    Can you make the Grilled Mahi recipe without an outdoor grill?<\/h2>\n

    If you don\u2019t have an outdoor grill or it\u2019s not grilling season the Mahi Mahi can cook perfectly on a Stovetop Grill Pan<\/a> (affiliate link) or a George Foreman Grill<\/a> (affiliate link). Remember the George Foreman is cooking both sides at the same time, so the cooking time will be much shorter.<\/p>\n

    7. Rotate 90 degrees and cook 2-3 minutes more to get criss-cross marks.<\/li>\n
    8. Turn fish over and cook about 3-4 minutes more or until it feels firm, but not hard to the touch. Total cooking time will not be more than 8-10 minutes; don’t overcook.<\/li>\n
