Bek's Grilled Soy-Ginger Mahi-Mahi
"Being from Hawaii, I'm always looking for good mahi-mahi recipes. I made this tonight with just a couple of changes. I left out the cayenne and replaced the red wine with balsamic vinegar. It was awesome! Definitely a re-do in my book!"
-Kateriana
Baked Mahi-Mahi
"Incredible! Tender and never dry, every time. Shared this with my parents and it's their favorite mahi mahi recipe. A regular in both our houses. I typically cut the amount of mayonnaise in half. Otherwise I don't change a thing because why mess with perfection."

Grilled Teriyaki Mahi-Mahi with Mango Salsa
"I just made this tonight for dinner. It was fairly quick and easy. The salsa was very nice. The mint gave it a great boost without being overpowering. The marinade was just as good."
-WildCook
Nut-Encrusted Mahi-Mahi
"This was one of the best fish recipes I have ever made. I would give it more stars if I could. It had the presentation of being gormet, but was extremely easy to make. I used mahi filets and followed the recipe exactly."
-Valerie in Florida
Lamu-Style Mahi-Mahi
"I'm normally not a fish fan, but this was amazing! I know I'll be making this a lot. I followed the recipe to the letter and it was absolutely perfect."
-Gin Gin
Mahi-Mahi in Caper-Garlic Cream Sauce
"This is quite tasty. You could even make without capers if you don't have them in your fridge. But, be sure to pull the sauce off the heat for a few minutes to cool before adding lemon juice. My sauce curdled because I added the lemon juice when it was still too hot. It didn't ruin it, but it wasn't a smooth and pretty sauce!"
-EppiRN
Mahi-Mahi with Brown Sugar-Soy Glaze
"This was very simple to make and a great change up to my normal fish dinners. I think next time I will try it with honey instead of brown sugar and maybe light soy sauce."
-MissiStroh
Lemon Pepper & Mustard Mahi-Mahi
"I selected this recipe for cooking mahi-mahi because it looked good, but more importantly I had all the ingredients at home. It was delicious! The flavors blended very well with the mahi, and it was a very simple recipe to make. I will definitely be cooking this one again!"

Honey Ginger Grilled Mahi-Mahi
"We loved this! By habit we went a little heavy on the fresh ginger, so no surprise that it was the first accent when the first bite hits the tongue. After that the citrus and mustard come through in balance and the fish was about perfect, both moist and flaky with a thin translucent glaze."
-Lavender Lynn
Tomato-Basil Mahi-Mahi
"Wonderful—a simple, delightful sauce that makes eating this dish a nice change of pace from the usual garlic butter or lemon I usually do. A keeper!"

Polynesian-Style Mahi-Mahi
"OMG! This is absolutely delicious! For me the seasonings were perfect, but they are easily adjusted for anyone who doesn't care for heat."
-Snowpeas
Greek-Style Mahi-Mahi
"If you are looking for a quick to fix fish dinner this fills the bill. As others have mentioned, I think I would divide the marinade and use half before and half during grilling. This was served with grilled summer squash and a Mediterranean-influenced quinoa salad."
-PaulaG
Baked Citrus Mahi-Mahi
"The fruit does make this dish sparkle. I would love to make this again if fresh Mahi Mahi could be at hand. Frozen filets just don’t have the freshness but ginger and especially the citrus complemented it."
-Lise S.
Mahi-Mahi with Pineapple Salsa
"This was really good and easy to make. I added some lime juice and onion to the salsa. Served with rice."
-Queen Dana
Mahi-Mahi Burgers with Ginger & Hoisin
"This was great, I served them on Hawaiian sweet rolls and couldn't make them fast enough. My wife and kids usually don't eat fish and they went nuts."
-BrianW
Cajun Mahi-Mahi with Fruit Salsa
"Delicious preparation for fish! The cooking method was spot on—the fish was perfect. I used pineapples and tomatoes (technically a fruit, right?) and that was a great combo with the brown sugar and balsamic. I added a little parsley to the salsa just for a little color."

Mahi-Mahi with Pear & Jalapeño Salsa
"Wow! So good! I made as written and it was so light and fresh tasting! I will be making this again when fresh fish is available and will cut the pear into smaller pieces so all the chutney ingredients are the same size."
-AZPARZYCH
Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Avocado Salsa
"The salsa DOES make this meal. I chose not to add the jalapeno as I was also serving children. Easy marinade (I left in frige for several hours). You don't need to broil fish for as long as recipe states or it will turn out dry (just fork tender)."
