This delectable mahi mahi recipe combines that terrific tasting fish with butter and macadamia nuts.
It is a perfect combination. When I think of either of those ingredients, my thoughts go directly to Hawaii, that paradise on earth.
Grilled mahi mahi is an amazing tasting dish and one served all over the islands.
When I visited Hawaii, the mahi mahi was SO good, I literally ate it at least once a day, sometimes twice for the whole time I was there.
You can create that great island taste right at home on your own grill using this recipe. And with the addition of the delectable macadamia nut butter drizzled over the fish, you won’t miss the islands at all. You’ll have it in your own kitchen.
This healthy fish recipe suits so many restricted diets. It is gluten free, low carb and perfect if you need diabetic recipes.
The recipe comes from a cookbook called 300 Big & Bold Barbecue & Grilling Recipes. It is one of my favorite barbecue and grilling cookbooks and has many wonderful grilled fish recipes, plus so much more.
