Grilled Mahimahi with Tamarind GlazeMartyn Thompson

The mild flavor of mahimahi is a perfect match for this wonderfully balanced tamarind glaze. The famously tart fruit is sweetened with brown sugar and brought to life by soy sauce and lime juice.

Cooks' note

If you aren't able to grill outdoors, fish can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
