Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 cups water
• salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cube chicken bouillon
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 4 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
• 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
• 0.5 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1.5 tablespoons white sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons soy sauce
• 0.75 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1.5 teaspoons butter
• 1.5 cups fresh mango, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk olive oil, green onion, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, ginger, and salt together in a bowl. Add mahi mahi; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring rice, water, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Pour in coconut milk and 2 tablespoons sugar; stir. Simmer, uncovered, until coconut milk mostly absorbed.

Step 3

Set an oven rack in the oven's center and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 4

Remove mahi mahi from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Place fish in a large baking dish in a single layer. Broil in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. If fish browns too quickly, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Meanwhile, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until begins to bubble; stir in mango. Cook and stir until mango is tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Place 1 mahi mahi fillet over 1 scoop coconut rice; top with mango salsa.
