Ingredients

    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    4 tbsp water
    3 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    24oz raw mahi mahi fillets, cut in 4
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a shallow glass dish, stir together the sugar, water, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil.
Season fish fillets lightly with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish.
Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
Preheat broiler.
Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade.
Place fish on a baking tray and broil 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.
Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and reduce until the mixture reduces to a glaze.
Spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately.

    Very delicious yet quick and easy! Gotta love that! I used low sodium soy sauce and ground dry ginger. I will definitely make this one again because it uses ingredients that I regularly have on hand. - 6/18/08

    This turned out pretty good, & my husband & I are such snobs when it comes to fish (we catch our own). I used the Splenda Brown Sugar Blend instead of regular brown sugar, reduced sodium soy sauce, & dry ginger. I also baked it instead of broiling it. My husband really liked the glaze! - 6/12/08

    I made this last night and I would make only 1 revision. I would use less soy sauce. I felt like I was tasting too much soy sauce which is good I guess if you like soy sauce. My family said they really like it. My kids ate it up! - 6/11/08

    Very good and easy to make. Give yourself enough time to reduce while not letting the fish get cold. - 2/6/09

    This was a very yummy recipe! I made it with regular soy sauce and it was a bit too salty. I will try the lower sodium next time. It would be good with chives on top. I will make it again! - 2/24/16
