Course: Main Course

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice
  • 2/3 cup coconut milk
  • 4 1-inch mahi-mahi steaks frozen or fresh
  • 1 pineapple cut into 1"-thick rings or 1 can pineapple rings
  • 2 cups hulled edamame
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions greens only
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the teriyaki sauce:
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari, naturally brewed
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons sweet rice wine
  • 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the rice according to the package directions, substituting 2/3 cup of the water with the coconut milk.
  2. While the rice is cooking, mix together all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce with 1/4 cup water, stirring to incorporate the honey. Marinate the mahi-mahi in a zip-top bag with half the sauce for 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, place all the vegetables and the pineapple in the remaining sauce, stirring to coat. After 30 minutes, preheat your griddle over medium-high heat.
  3. Brush the griddle with the olive oil. Remove the mahi-mahi and the pineapple slices from the marinade and place on the greased grill. Grill the fish for approximately 5 minutes on each side, the pineapple for 3 minutes per side.
  4. Place the vegetables and the sauce they have been marinating in a sauté pan over medium-high and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, stirring frequently.
  5. Place coconut rice in a bowl and top with the teriyaki vegetables, grilled pineapple, and the mahi-mahi steaks. Garnish with the green onions.

Notes

  • When choosing sustainable mahi mahi, look for troll/poll-line caught fish from the US Atlantic first, which receives a best choice rating from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch and an Eco-Best rating from the Environmental Defense Fund. A good second choice option is troll/poll-line caught mahi mahi from Hawaii.
