Ginger Mahi Mahi Glazed

Oh, I can't get enough of this time of year. I have spent a lot of time being outside this week. It is so nice to have it warm again, and the blue sky, and sunshine are fantastic. Every morning I wake up and see blue sky it makes me want to sing. There is something peaceful about the summer morning they invigorate me. I enjoy getting up early to enjoy them. It is a great time of year.
This was also part of the Father's Day feast. I went all out. My husband is a sweetie, and always makes an amazing feast for Mother's Day, so I wanted to make a nice meal for him as well. This marinade could be used on any kind of fish. I think the marinade adds to the fish experience. It also helps to have my family more interested in eating it, and that is a good thing too. :)

Ingredients:
1/4 C honey
4 T balsamic vinegar or plain vinegar
1/4 C soy sauce
1 T grated ginger or 2 tsp dried ginger
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 T olive oil
4-6 6 oz Mahi Mahi fillets

Directions:
1. In a bowl or blender blend up the marinade.

2. I then put the fish in a large zip lock, and poured the marinade on top.

3. I started it 24 hours ahead of time. I shook up the bag a couple times during the 24 hour period.

4. Heat up a barbecue or skillet (put in a little oil to help it not to stick) Bake 5-7 min on each side.
5. You could heat up the remaining marinade in a saucepan, and add 1 T Of thickener (cornstarch or Ultra gel) and serve it over the fish or rice.

Enjoy a wonderful weekend!

Orange Lime Mahi Mahi

This is another way to cook your fish. I used Mahi Mahi but I would think this would work great with any white fish. I served it with brown rice and a mixed frozen vegetable. I liked it better than the chicken the night before.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 to 2 lbs Mahi Mahi or another white fish
4 T lime juice
1 orange
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Put the fish in a 13x9 greased Pyrex dish. Pour the lime juice on top of the skinless side. I then cut an orange in 1/2 and put the slices on top of the fish. Salt and pepper. Cover with foil.

2. Bake at 375. My fish was frozen so it took about 45 min. You will have to check it and see how long it takes. I could smell when it was done. I took it out of the oven and squeezed the remaining other half of the orange on top of the fish. I served it with Brown rice and green frozen vegetable mix. It was a tasty meal.
