How to Grill Dorado?
Dorado is a flavorful, dense, firm fish that can be found in fillets or steaks. This rich fish is called dolphin in some parts of the world, though not in the family of dolphins that are mammals. To eliminate possible confusion, it has become known by its Hawaiian name mahi mahi, which means strong. In other parts of the world it is known as Dorado,which is its actual scientific name. The tasty fish is low in carbohydrates and fat, so it is a healthful choice for almost any diet. Mahi mahi also tastes great by itself, with simple herbs and spices or with just about any sauces, marinades or salsas, so it is as diverse as it is delicious. Because the flavor is so pleasing and the fillets or steaks cook easily, learning how to grill mahi mahi to perfection is quite simple.
1.When selecting your Dorado, look for steaks or fillets that do not have separation in the layers of meat, dull coloring or a fishy smell. These characteristics could indicate that the fish is not fresh. We don’t have this problem in Cabo because it all comes in fresh but just for you know!!
2. Apply cooking oil or spray to your grill prior to grilling mahi mahi to prevent it from sticking.
3. Heat your grill to medium high or high. If you decide to grill mahi mahi on a very hot grill, watch it carefully and turn it as needed to prevent burning it.
4. Grill Dorado about 5 to 10 minutes per side, flipping the steaks or fillets when the color starts to turn white.
5. Marinate your Dorado when you flip it if you are using a marinade or dressing. This will help it to retain moisture and prevent it from drying out while on the grill.
6. Test your Dorado to see if it is done by flaking it with a fork.
7. Continue grilling mahi mahi if it doesn’t flake easily, flipping it from side to side until flaking occurs.
8. Season your Dorado when it is about ready to be taken off the grill.
9. Serve your grilled Dorado with salsa, sauce or by itself and enjoy.
10. Refrigerate any leftover Dorado and try it in a salad the next day.
Another Nice Dorado Recipe!!!
Grilled Dorado with Walnut and Parsley Pesto
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 cup walnuts, lightly toasted
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Six 6-to-7 ounce dorado, pompano, Spanish mackerel or sea bass fillets, with skin
1/3 cup Picholine or green Greek or Spanish olives, pitted and chopped
Light a grill. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the sliced onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
In a food processor, puree the parsley leaves with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and scrape the puree into a medium bowl. Add the walnuts and onion to the food processor bowl and process to a paste. With the machine on, slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil. Stir the paste into the parsley puree and season with salt and pepper.
Brush the dorado fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish over a hot fire, skin side down, until the skin is crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the fillets and grill until just cooked through, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the fillets to plates. Spread the walnut-parsley pesto over the fish. Top with the olives and preserved lemon and serve.
BEWARE: Please beware of the guys in the street selling boat charters. If you wait till the day you are fishing and go to the dock where your boat is many times people will mislead you to another boat or dock trying to put you on a boat that was not meant for you. You need to have a person guide you to your boat, who is from a reputable charter company. This way there is no confusion or misleading. Please remember when renting Sport fishing boats in Cabo that you rent your boat from reputable and established business. Walk into a fishing fleet office and ask questions about what you are getting and what are the costs? You dont want to rent boats from vendors in the streets and you do not want to book through shady websites offering you the world. Check through travel forums about reputable fishing fleets to deal with. Look for testimonials about the fleet your booking, your charter with. Ask about what will the boat be supplying? Will it include beverages or lunches? How much does it cost to fillet your catch? Check to see if charter boat is insured? Ask about getting your catch smoked? Check cost of a fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in the next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon. Come by the office here in Cabo and get all the latest up to date fishing report. http://www.jcsportfishing.comhttp://youtu.be/tSXN6pifQyQ
