MAHI MAHI WITH ORANGE TEQUILA SAUCE


My never-ending quest for fish recipes that I can eat (and actually enjoy) took another step forward with this Mahi Mahi recipe inspired by a margarita. The flavors are just as wonderful as downing a pitcher of Cadillacs but without the dreaded aftereffect of having to hunt for your clothes when you wake up the following morning in some stranger's bed.

MAHI MAHI WITH ORANGE TEQUILA SAUCE

2 or 3 Large Mahi Mahi fillets
black sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

For Marinade
1/2 cup tequila
3 TBS frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tsp cumin
3 TBS ketchup
1 large garlic clove, minced
salt & pepper to taste




Blend marinade ingredients together well. Place fish in small baking dish and pour marinade over fish. Refrigerate 2 - 6 hours, turning fish occasionally. Remove fish from marinade. Pour marinade into small saucepan and set over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer for ten minutes or until reduced and thickened slightly. Grill or broil mahi mahi until opaque and hot throughout. Plate fish and pour sauce over. Garnish with sesame seeds.

That sounds delicious - think it would work with limeade too?
