HONEY-MACADAMIA MAHI-MAHI WITH PINEAPPLE RELISH
RELISH: 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons scallion greens, finely chopped 1 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeno pepper MAHI-MAHI: 2 (8-ounce each) Mahi-Mahi fillets, skinned 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil 3 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup toasted macadamia nuts*
TO PREPARE RELISH: In a small bowl, combine all the relish ingredients. Mix well. (The relish will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 8 hours.)
TO PREPARE MAHI-MAHI: Prepare grill. Rub fillets with oil, then season with salt and pepper.
When the fire is medium-hot, put the fillets on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side.
Turn the fish over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer. As the second side is cooking, brush the exposed side lightly with honey and sprinkle with half of the nuts.
Turn the fillets over again and cook for 1 minute, meanwhile coating the second side with the remaining honey and nuts.
Turn once again and cook 1 minute, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove the fillets from the grill.
Cut each fillet into 2 portions and serve, accompanied by Pineapple Relish.
*Toast macadamia nuts in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Let cool. Finely chop and set aside.
