Really trying to stick to this resolu-…. ahem, i mean goal to get fit this year. I have set realistic goals and am marvelling at my dedication.. I beleive its in part to my buddy system (hey mari!) The other part is me kicking my own butt! (and the shiny new ipod momma got me with all the helpful healthy apps!)
So, last night after my freezing walk with Mickey- who gets really picky about where to go in bad weather – i went home and mapped out my game plan. I was gonna do my EA active while dinner was cooking.
Since steaming brown rice takes 45 mins, I set it up and got ready to work out. Then I prepped some fish and let it marinate while i was getting my sweat on. I had some Lovely Mahi Mahi to cook up. I was debating on what to put on it because i was a little over the panko and plain old salt and pepper… and after finding a few recipes that piqued my interested i finally settled on a combination of a few different recipes with similar themes.
I chose a korean style marinade… you know how much i love Korean Food!
Soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, brown sugar and scallions. I realized i forgot to buy scallions so i omitted them.. but it still was fab!
I poured a tablespoon of sesame oil into a bowl and rolled the mahi mahi into it to coat. then free poured soy sauce to slightly cover the fish. I sprinkled a tablespoon of brown sugar into the bowl and rubbed it into the fish. then i splashed a few drops of vinegar into the bowl. I rolled the fish over to coat and then sprinkled garlic powder onto each side and on the top a nice layer of red pepper flakes. I left it to marinate in the fridge.
then steamed some broccoli. 10 minutes to perfectly cooked veggies. Love my steamer!
And when the grill pan was nice and hot I transferred my yummy looking Mahi Mahi to the pan and grilled 3 minutes per side.
sizzle action!
Bon appetit! Dunno if it was because i worked up an apptetite or because this ISH was GOOD. It reminded me of my baked tofu recipe. The ingredients really complimented the flavor of the fish. Mahi mahi can taste a bit fishy but with soy glaze… it was a pleasant flavor. Guess what im having for din din tonight??
Mahi Mahi has got to be one of my favorite fish to eat…I keep trying to pull that bottom picture off of my computer screen Diva!! dang it for looking so delish!!!!
and congrats for sticking to your fitness routine..best of luck with that
You had me at the sesame oil.
I need to eat more fish (& have a goal to get it on the table 2 a month in Jan, 3x in Feb & so forth until we are eating it once a week, every week) & love the combo you chose for your marinade. I tend to cheat & buy the premarinated mahi from TJs. lolCongrats on a fabulous evening!!Best wishes with your gym workout.

I love mahi mahi! I have almost all of those ingredients at home so I have no exuse not to make it! Good job working out! Lets take a spin class soon!
Yums! that looks really good…I like that you said that Mahi Mahi tastes fishy (I hate that) and that this recipe made it taste better =) HAHA I will take it easy on you (maybe)
yum! thats one of my favorite marinades lately too
Oh wow, I love the sound of that marinade. Not sure I've ever attempted free-form marinade! I guess it would help if I cooked fish more often…
I have never had mahi-mahi. Maybe I should stop being a fish snob and try it sometime!
