Sound Eats | Pomegranate Glazed Mahi Mahi

I cannot describe to you how fantastic my pomegranate glazed mahi mahi was. It was simple, it was fast to make, and it was just soo good I probably ate it faster than I made it. I think it may have been the best dish I have ever made. And I make a ton of dishes.

Pomegranate Glazed Mahi Mahi

2 small mahi mahi filets
ground ginger
kosher salt
freshly gound pepper
1/4 c. POM pomegranate juice
zest of an orange
juice from 1/2 an orange (there wasn’t much juice in mine for some reason. I only got about 3 decent squeezes)
drizzle of honey (about 1/2 T.)
more ground ginger

1. Lightly season both sides of your mahi mahi filets with ground ginger, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Sear the filets over medium-high heat in a medium sized stainless steel skillet with evoo. Continue to cook until mahi mahi reaches 145 degrees F inside.
**Important: if you have a small apartment kitchen with terrible ventilatin, go ahead and put your vent on or open a couple windows. Just forewarning.
3. In a small saucepan combine the POM juice, orange zest and juice, a light dusting of ground ginger (pr0b. 1/8-1/4 tsp.), and the honey. Bring to a boil so the mixture can reduce (the texture will be inbetween juice and honey).
4. Drizzle or brush (your call!) the glaze over your finished mahi mahi filets. Perfecto!

I still cannot tell you how absolutely fabulous this tasted. I couldn’t believe it when I ate it. I think this was even better than the salmon we served at our wedding (and that says a lot, because that was fantastic and even non-fish lovers liked that salmon!). I know there are some readers out there who are vegetarian or vegan, but I bet if you try this same process with tofu, you’ll still get to enjoy the beauty of the pom glaze.

The hubs did think the only thing that may improve it was if we grilled it. We only have a George Foreman grill, so I may try making a salad later this week but use the same pomegranate glaze and grill our last mahi mahi filet on the Georey grill instead. I’ll let ya know how it turns out.

Seriously though..please try this. It’s just so good. And if you try it, please let me know what you think!!
