Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 2.5 tablespoons of soy sauce until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
- Place the 24 oz of tuna fish in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
- Let the tuna marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour to absorb the flavors.
- While the tuna is marinating, peel and thinly slice the 6 onions.
- Sprinkle the sliced onions with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix well. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
- Remove the tuna from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Place the tuna on the grill. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork but still slightly opaque in the middle. Avoid overcooking to keep the tuna moist and tender.
- While the tuna is grilling, place the sliced onions on a grill-safe pan or basket.
- Grill the onions until they are soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally for even cooking. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Once the tuna and onions are done, remove them from the grill.
- Place the grilled tuna on a serving platter and top with the caramelized onions.
- Drizzle any remaining glaze from the grilled pan over the top of the fish for extra flavor.
- Optionally, you can garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh mahimahi for the best taste and texture.
- Let the fish marinate in the glaze for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the fish.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high to ensure a good sear on the fish while keeping it moist inside.
- Use a grill basket or aluminum foil to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill grates.
- Baste the fish with extra glaze during grilling for added flavor.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, for a complete meal.
There you have it – a delicious Grilled Mahimahi with Brown Sugar Soy Glaze that's sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of the sweet, savory glaze and the perfectly grilled fish makes this dish a standout, and it's surprisingly easy to prepare. Enjoy your meal!
