I don’t know about you, but I know I should try to eat more fish. It’s a great source of protein and is great when the temperature really starts to rise.  I really like fish and chips, but I’ve also discovered how tasty grilled fish is! Give this recipe a try, it sounds fantastic. don’t worry if you don’t have the sesame oil, it will still be good without it (but it definitely adds something special). So next time you’d like to try something new but Jenny Craig approved, give this recipe a try!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups  unsweetened pineapple juice

  • 1/4 cup  low sodium soy sauce

  • 2 Tbls  low sodium soy sauce

  • 3 Tbls  brown sugar

  • 3 Tbls  green onions, minced

  • 1 Tbl  dark sesame oil

  • 2 tsps  ginger root, peeled and minced

  • 1 1/2 tsps  garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp  dried crushed red pepper

  • 4 (4oz) mahi-mahi fillets

  • 8 (½-inch thick) slices fresh pineapple

  • vegetable cooking spray

  • 1 bunch  fresh spinach leaves (optional)

  • 16 green onion curls (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine first 8 ingredients. Place fish and pineapple slices in a large shallow baking dish. Pour half of pineapple juice mixture over fish and pineapple. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning fish and pineapple occasionally.
  2. Divide remaining pineapple juice mixture in half; set aside.
  3. Remove fish and pineapple from marinade; discard marinade.
  4. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (350 to 400° F). Place fish and pineapple on rack; grill, covered, 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and pineapple is tender, basting often with half of reserved pineapple juice mixture.
  5. Pour remaining half of reserved pineapple juice mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a small saucepan, discarding solids remaining in strainer.
  6. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat.
  7. Transfer fish and pineapple to a serving platter. Drizzle with warm pineapple juice mixture.
  8. If desired, garnish with spinach leaves and green onion curls.
