Lucky Lady!

Since these last couple weeks have beens stressful - Eric convinced me I needed to get a good run in yesterday, so we hit the Monday run for a nice 4.5. After we got home and I got done with my shower, I heard something in the kitchen.

...it was Eric, cooking our delicious Mahi Mahi. He saw how stressed I was yesterday and just started cooking it while I was upstairs - probably the best gift he's ever given me. And it tasted amazing! We had it over lettuce and some steam fresh veggies + rice (recipe below).

Had a great lunch with Stacey yesterday - I can't wait for her and Kev to close on their new home in Dilworth -- fingers crossed! She and I were trying to plan for the weekend, but are waiting to see how rainy it will be - a nice hurricane throw-back to my FL days.


Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. Fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.
  3. Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. Spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately.
