Cajun Maple Mahi-Mahi
"This is so good! I looked for a good recipe for maple glaze for chicken or fish or *whatever* that had the ingredients that I had on hand, but I just couldn't find the right one, so I created this extremely simple recipe myself and it was a success. I guess sometimes, to find the right answers, you have to look within!"

I made this last night for dinner and it was so easy!! I put a little too much cajun seasoning but that was easily remedied by adding more maple syrup. I don't own a grill, so I baked the fish. So good..definitely making again. Baked at 350 for 20 minutes -
Had a little dinner party and followed this recipe with a few changes: doubled the ingredients for 6 mahi steaks, added lemon pepper, lemon juice, and cooked them atop the sauteed onions (with olive oil). Served the mahi on a bed of fresh spinach and drizzled the juice & onions on top. Everyone LOVED it (including me!!) Thanks so much. -
The store was out of Mahi Mahi, so I used Salmon. I got home and was out of Cajun Spice, so I used Chili Pepper. I wasn't sure how to grill, so I baked it uncovered for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. STILL CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL! Yummy! Will definitely do this again.

This was so easy that my eight yr. old made it all by himself, and it was so good. We will make this again! -

I used the stated 3/4 Tbs of cajun spices (which I made myself from the Cajun Seasoning recipe on this site), but would definetly cut that back to 1/2 Tb and increase the maple syrup to almost 1/4 c. I also used fresh minced garlic instead of the garlic powder, and I broiled it rather than grilled it.

I am a happily married mother of three, originally from New York, and currently residing in Florida. I believe that the fondest memories of life are marked by flavor. I have tasted foods from all around the world, and I must say, food is a big part of my family's life, and a big passion of mine!
