Grilled Mahi Mahi w/ Jerk Spice






This dish was supposed to turn out a little different but the recipe for some reason was unclear to me. Here's the recipe:

For the marinade: 1 red onion, roughly chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme Green tops of 2 scallions, chopped 1 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon white pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 jalapeno, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 teaspoons sea salt
For the fish: 4 (5-ounce) mahi mahi fillets Salt
Prepare the marinade: Place all ingredients into food processor and process for 15 seconds. (There will be extra marinade. Marinade can be refrigerated for 1 week or frozen up to 2 months.)
For the fish:
Season the fish with salt and spoon 2 teaspoons of the jerk marinade on each side. Place into a hot grill or grill pan and turn heat down to medium. After 2 minutes (should be brown) turn over and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until fish is cooked through.






For some strange reason I took the marinade part to mean, well I happen to look on the back of the Jerk seasoning bottle & noticed that the ingredients where the same as the recipe. In short, I put the jerk seasoning on the fish & grilled it & put the evoo(EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL) on the grill so it wouldn't stick. Also steamed some veggies...... It turned out (ok), NOT GREAT!!!!! wife & kids say it was really good but I think they're just being nice. Oh wellI'll get it next time for sure. By the way the dish I made didn't look anything like the picture you see.
