Mahi Mahi

Coconut Rice

Method

Preparing the Mahi Mahi

  1. 1

    Marinate the Mahi Mahi

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the mahi mahi fillets and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  3. 3

    Grill the Mahi Mahi

    Remove the mahi mahi from the marinade and place them on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Coconut Rice

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 6

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 7

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the fresh cilantro.
