Each month you are assigned another blogger from your group, there are 4 of them. I am in group D and boy, what a creative group we are. The bloggers do not know who was assigned to who. The idea is to stalk learn about the blogger you have. You do this by secretly going into their blog, read about them, spend time with them, drool over all their delicious recipes and then find one that you can't wait to make and make it. Then share it. That is what today is all about, sharing. We are sharing our recipes today with each other and with our readers. Make sure you stop by the other's posts...they really offer some amazing recipes.
This month I was assigned Sally of Bewitching Kitchen. Sally is celebrating her 6th blogiversary this month. Six years!! Amazing. She is a biochemist currently working for Kansas State University. Prior to moving to Kansas she resided in Paris and California but she was born and raised in Brazil. With all of those influences how could her cooking be anything other than delicious.
You can imagine just how many recipes Sally has on her blog after 6 years. I was very overwhelmed so I decided to make my life easier and decide what I wanted to make and then look for a recipe. Sally makes this very easy with a search option on her recipe page. I decided I would like to make a fish/seafood dish and that led me to the recipe I am sharing with you today.
I made some very slight adaptations to Sally's recipe because it sounded perfect just as it was. I only had one Mahi Mahi fillet but I also had a Cod fillet so I used that as well. The recipe calls for a mild vegetable oil. Sally used grapeseed oil. I had some cottonseed from Acala Farms that was flavored with cumin and chilis. I used that and deleted the chili sauce in the recipe.
The fish was tender and flavorful.
Just a word of caution, it was a bit spicy for my hubby as I made it.
If you have a spice sensitive love in your life you may want to follow Sally's original recipe.
Grilled Mahi Mahi with Citrus Marinade
slightly adapted from Bewitching Kitchen
2 fillets of MahiMahi or other firm fleshed fish
2 T. fresh lime juice
3 T. rice wine vinegar
1 T. finely chopped ginger (I used Gourmet Garden Ginger)
1 T. finely chopped scallions
3 T. Chile seasoned cottonseed oil or 3 T. mild vegetable oil and 1/2 t. chili sauce
1 T. soy sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Combine all ingredients except fish in a sealable plastic bag and shake to combine. Add the fish fillets and reseal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 min. to 2 hrs. Grill over med high heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the fish. Print Recipe
YUMM!! This sounds like the perfect summer dinner. I need to make more fish at home - I love eating it! :) Happy reveal day!
ReplyDeleteYes I am always looking for new fish recipes Rebekah.
DeleteOh, what a great write up! Loved it, and of course I love that recipe, I haven't made mahi-mahi in a long time because our grocery store all of a sudden decided to charge an arm and a leg for it!
ReplyDeleteso glad you got my blog! And you are absolutely right, The Secret Recipe club is THE CLUB to be in!
I love it!
again, thanks for the lovely post, and I wish you a fantastic Monday Reveal Day!
Thanks Sally, I had fun getting to know you through your blog.
DeleteWhenever we make fish it feels like a special occasion. This recipe would certainly hit that mark. That plate looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reveal Day! I have never tasted Mahi Mahi but I think it's time to give it a try~ Lynn
ReplyDeleteMahi Mahi is one of our favorite fish Lynn. I think you will love it.
DeleteI love Sally's blog and I love this pick! Oh... and I love spicy. =)
ReplyDeleteAh then you will want to use the Acala Chile oil if you have any. It is wonderful Karen.
DeleteI have never made Mahi Mahi but have eaten it on a few cruise ships. Good fish. And this recipe sounds wonderful as I love citrus and ginger. I'll have to scope out her blog and see where in Kansas she lives!
ReplyDeleteYes, she works at Kansas University so I don't know if that is near you Paula.
DeleteYes, that is in Manhattan, Kansas. About three hours from me. Closer to Kansas City. Justin went to college there for a year before he transferred to Kansas University. She works at Kansas State University!
Deleteahhhh, got it.
DeleteI'm trying to branch out in the seafood department, and I believe that I like the texture of MahiMahi, so I will have to give this a try over the summer. Looks delicious! Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa, I hope you try it and enjoy it.
DeleteMy husband is always asking for fish (I think he missed FL) - next time he asks I know what I could make!
ReplyDeletePerfect recipe Lauren, easy peasy and delicious.
DeleteFish is so wonderful on the grill! I love the bit of smoky flavor!
ReplyDeleteYes I do too Sue but unfortunately I didn't have that wonderful smoky flavor with this dish as I was using a gas grill LOL
DeleteI love fish, and usually try to have it in some way a couple of times a week. Needless to say I'm always looking for new ways to serve it, so this definitely makes the list for me. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteOoh, this looks delicious! I don't make nearly enough fish. My husband would love this.
ReplyDeleteEasy Peasy too Tara.
DeleteAdding spices like chilis to oil really makes a difference in a recipe. I find that paprika does VERY well in an oil.
ReplyDeleteI agree David.
