Mahi Mahi With Brown-Sugar Soy Glaze

So easy to make! This glaze also works on other fish like halibut. The recipe is from Gourmet Magazine (Oct. 05).

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 6  scallions
• 3  tablespoons  packed brown sugar
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4 (6 ounce)  skinless mahi mahi fillets
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons  vegetable oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200°F.
2. Cut white and pale green parts of scallions crosswise into 2-inch pieces, then thinly slice enough scallion greens to measure 3 tablespoons.
3. Stir together brown sugar, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
4. Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook fish on 1 side until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn fish over and brown 1 minute. Add soy sauce mixture and simmer, covered, until fish is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer fish with a slotted spatula to a heatproof platter and keep warm in oven. (Fish will cook through from residual heat.).
5. Add 2-inch scallion pieces and juices from fish platter to sauce and boil, stirring occasionally, until glaze is very thick and reduced to less than 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Spoon glaze over fish and sprinkle with scallion greens.
