Tender, moist teriyaki mahi mahi is a delicious take on this favorite tropical fish, and thanks to a flavor-packed glaze, it goes well with simple side dishes like white rice and steamed vegetables.

Ingredients

4 mahi mahi fillets (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/4 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce

Directions

Sprinkle mahi mahi with garlic powder and pepper. In a large skillet, cook mahi mahi in oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute ginger for 30 seconds. Stir in teriyaki sauce; heat through. Serve over mahi mahi.

After trying a few mahi mahi recipes, this one is definitely my favorite. This glazed mahi mahi is good with rice, vegetables or salad. Blotting the fillets before cooking allows a nice brown crust to form. Cod or halibut can be used, too. —Michelle Ibarrientos, Torrance, California
