Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 4 tablespoons water

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 24 ounces raw mahi mahi fillets, cut into quarters

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, water, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic, and olive oil.

  • Sprinkle the mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper. Add them to the bowl with the soy sauce mixture, coating thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  • Preheat a broiler.

  • Place the marinated fish on a baking tray, setting aside the used marinade for later.

  • Broil for 4-6 minutes, turn the fish, and continue broiling for another 4-6 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

  • Place the cooked fillets on a serving dish.

  • Pour the used marinade into a skillet over low heat. Cook until it is heated through and becomes a glaze. Drizzle it over the plated fillet and serve hot.
