How to Make Honey Sesame Mahi Mahi

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
  2. Place the mahi mahi fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet.
  5. Carefully place the marinated mahi mahi fillets in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy!
