How to Make Citrus Glazed Mahi Mahi

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Whisk well to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the glaze has reduced by half and thickened slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and let the glaze cool completely to allow it to thicken further. It should be thick and syrupy.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season mahi mahi steaks (about 1 pound) with salt and pepper.
  6. Grill mahi mahi for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  7. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the steaks generously with the citrus glaze.
  8. Remove from grill and pour any remaining glaze over the steaks. Serve immediately.
