Serves/Makes:4 servings

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lbs (.7 kg). mahi mahi, sliced 3/4-inch thick (4 servings)
• 1 large Vidalia, Maui or other sweet onion
• 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) sugar
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) orange juice (fresh is best)
• 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
• 1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper

Preparation

• Peel and slice the onion and garlic cloves as thinly as possible.
• Heat the oil and butter in heavy skillet.
• When the butter bubbles, add the onions and garlic.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and cook the onions very slowly for 20 to 25 minutes until they're golden brown.
• Watch mixture to avoid burning.
• When the onions are golden, sprinkle with sugar, orange juice, salt and pepper.
• Allow the juice to evaporate for about 1 minute.
• While onions are cooking, heat a grill to medium-high.
• Brush both sides of the mahi mahi fillets with olive oil.
• Cook the fish for 2 minutes directly on grill; rotate the fish one-quarter turn without flipping it (This gives the fish an attractive diamond pattern from the grill).
• Cook for 5 minutes longer on the same side.
• Flip fish and cook for 5 minutes longer.
• Fish is done when it feels firm to the touch (Cooking time may vary slightly according to thickness of fillets).
• Serve fillet topped with the onion and garlic mixture.
