Ingredients
- ½ cup light coconut milk
- 1½ tablespoons fresh mint, washed and dried, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh Thai basil (or other basil is okay too), washed and dried, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, washed and dried, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass (click here for how to cut the lemongrass), washed and dried, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger pulp
- 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric, grated (or ½ teaspoon dry, ground turmeric)
- ¼ teaspoon brown sugar
- 4 approximately (5-ounce) Mahi Mahi fillets
- grapeseed oil for the pan
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- To make the marinade, add all of the ingredients -- except the Mahi Mahi, oil, salt and Pepper -- to a small bowl. Mix everything together until it's evenly incorporated and well blended.
- Pour about half of the marinade into an approximately 9 X 13-inch baking dish, and place the the Mahi Mahi fillets on top. Then pour the remaining marinade evenly over them.
- Cover tightly with plastic and marinate in the refrigerator for approximately 6 hours, turn the fillets over a couple of times during that time period.
- Remove the marinated fillets from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 450°F, and sprinkle both sides of the marinated fish with salt and pepper.
- Place the fish in the oven and bake until it's almost cooked through, but slightly translucent in the center. You should easily be able to flake it apart with a fork. The baking time should be 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
