Barbecue Mahi
Ingredients
1 lemon (for juice, rinsed)
large zip-top bag
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 1/2 lb mahi fillets (skin removed; thawed, if needed)
cooking spray
Steps
1. Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill. Squeeze juice of one-half lemon into zip-top bag; add remaining ingredients (except fish) and knead bag to blend mixture. Add fish (wash hands); seal bag tightly and marinate 10 minutes, turning occasionally, to evenly coat fish.
2. Coat grill with cooking spray. Place fish on grill (wash hands) and close lid. Grill fish 3-6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (or flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork). Grill time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish; use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. (If using regular grill, double cooking time, turning once.) Serve.
