Grilled mahi mahi teriyaki

Yesterday Peter and I went for a short Autumn hike in Wasserfallen-Regioldswil in Basel Land. We first took a cable car up and then the hike began. We chose the route direction to the Passwang, if you are lucky with the weather, on top you can see as far as to the Alps, the Jungfrau. By the time we got home, it was late afternoon and we both have tired legs. So I chose to make something relatively simple and nice. The Teriyaki and salad were both quick and easy to prepare.

After all the preparation, I could relax and go to take a shower before doing the rest of the cooking. I served the mahi mahi with Japanese rice and some black glutinuous rice. You can use some wild rice instead. To go along side, I made a quick refreshing salad with tomatoes, cucumber, mint and coriander, see recipe at the bottom.

  3. Heat up a griddle pan, brush with olive oil. Turn to high heat. When it is hot enough, place the mahi mahi on the pan and grill 3-4 minutes on each side. To keep the moisture inside the fish but not over cooking it, turn the heat down to medium high heat after the first 2 mins and cover the pan for the last 2 mins.
  4. In the meantime, the marinade can be made into a sauce. Simply pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan, add the corn flour & dark soy sauce, stir to dissolve. Heat to boil, pour into a sauce pot.
