Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Tequila-Cranberry Glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of cranberry juice, 1/4 cup of tequila, 2 tbs of honey, and 1 tsp of cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mahi Mahi

    Brush the Mahi Mahi fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Mahi Mahi

    Grill the Mahi Mahi fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and grill marks appear. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss American cheese on each fillet to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Herb-Lemon Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh herbs (like parsley and chives).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the herb-lemon aioli on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place the grilled Mahi Mahi with melted cheese on top, drizzle with the spicy tequila-cranberry glaze, and finish with the top half of the bun.
