Sweet and spicy mango habanero glaze on grilled Mahi with a few simple ingredients makes the perfect light summer supper.
Grilled Mahi with Mango Habanero Glaze
By Sue Lau | palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day for today is with the blogging group Improv Cooking Challenge and is for mango habanero glaze which I have used on grilled maki fish.
It is easy to make using ripe mango and a few other ingredients. Once thickened you can just brush it on the fish as it cooks. Not only does this work well on grilled fish, but you can also use it on fish in the oven, or sauteed fish (brushing it on after).
And not just fish, but the flavors in this will also marry well with chicken, pork, and if you are vegan, tempeh.
To serve, I kept this one very fresh garnished with some chiffonade of fresh basil, some sliced garden tomatoes, a wedge of lime, and some pan fried ramen noodles (which cook up in a few minutes). It makes for a delicious light supper, perfect for a hot and steamy summer day.
When I went to buy the fish for this, for some reason I was having the devil of a time finding the mahi at the fishmonger. One had some but it was horrible. Never buy fish that smells of ammonia of looks dodgy. I ended up peeking at the frozen section at Trader Joe’s. While I would prefer fresh fish, sometimes frozen has to do in a pinch.

I’m not really a fish person, but this looks so delicious that I really want to try it.
It will work on chicken breast or boneless pork too. Not sure if it is a great fit for steak.
I would love that on pork or chicken! It looks like such an easy way to make something a little extra special.
Why am I just now seeing this? I too, made fish for this event and it was lovely but not quite as pretty as yours. I’m sorry I didn’t visit closer to the event.
That looks delicious and I love the fried noodles! Perfect summer dinner.
I love this mahi tuna. You definitely hit my favorite flavors by topping the fish with the mango habanero glaze.
Mahi Mahi is so good on the grill! I love that glaze too!
