Sweet and Sour Mahi Mahi is a delicious and vibrant dish that combines mild, flaky mahi-mahi with tangy and sweet sauce flavors. It's an excellent choice for a special dinner or a meal that everyone in the family and friends will enjoy.

This dish combines fried fish and sweet and sour sauce. After seasoning the mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper, I cooked them in medium heat. I also coated the fish in all-purpose flour for texture and to keep the frying oil from splattering. This keeps me secure from oil attacks while I'm cooking the fish. The sweet and sour sauce I used was adapted from a recipe I posted a few years ago. I doubled the sweet and sour sauce recipe and added bell pepper, carrots, and onion. The end product is an incredible sweet and sour mahi mahi meal ready in 20 minutes.

Mahi mahi fillets are a terrific addition to sweet and sour fish because their flavor combines nicely with the sauce. I believe I learnt a new lesson today: I don't always need to travel far to buy fresh food. I inserted the phrase "Sometimes" since it is not always true. You may recognize me by now, and you are aware of how far I will go to obtain the materials I want – within a 100-mile radius, that is. When I do that, I'm not attempting to waste time or petrol; all I want to do is deliver the greatest recipe to you, our dedicated readers. You are always deserving of the finest!

Here's a basic recipe for preparing Sweet and Sour Mahi Mahi:

Ingredients:

For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:

- 1/2 cup ketchup

- 1/4 cup white vinegar

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

- 1/4 cup water

- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or a mix)

- 1/2 cup diced pineapple (canned or fresh)

- 1/4 cup diced red onion

- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

- Salt and black pepper to taste

- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

For the Mahi Mahi:

- 4 mahi-mahi fillets, about 6-8 ounces each

- Salt and black pepper to taste

- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)

- Optional garnish: chopped green onions or fresh cilantro

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet and Sour Sauce:

   - Combine the ketchup, white vinegar, granulated sugar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a mixing dish. To make the sweet and sour sauce, combine all of the ingredients.

2. Cook the Sauce:

   - In a saucepan, heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.

   - To the pot, add the chopped bell peppers, pineapple, red onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for a few minutes, or until the veggies are soft and fragrant.

   - Pour the sweet and sour sauce mixture over the sautéed vegetables.

   - Bring the sauce to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens and turns glossy.

   - Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess if needed by adding more sugar or vinegar.

3. Prepare the Mahi Mahi:

   - Using paper towels, pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry. This helps the sauce adhere to the fish better.

   - Season the fillets with salt and black pepper.

4. Cook the Mahi Mahi:

   - In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

   - Add the mahi-mahi fillets to the hot skillet.

   - Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary according to the thickness of the fillets.

5. Serve:

   - Remove the cooked mahi-mahi from the skillet.

   - Serve the fish hot, with the sweet and sour sauce spooned over the top.

   - Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
