• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Honey Ginger Glaze

• ¼ cup honey

Instructions

1. Prepare the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

2. Season the Fish

Pat the Mahi-Mahi fillets dry with paper towels.

Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.

3. Cook the Fish

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the fillets and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F / 63°C).

4. Glaze the Fish

Reduce heat to medium-low.

Pour the honey ginger glaze over the fillets.

Spoon the glaze over the fish for 1–2 minutes, until thickened and glossy.
