Healthy Asian Food & A Somewhat Healthy Dessert

I was craving some Asian food Saturday night (sushi to be exact), but we wanted to have dinner at home so I found this recipe and Matt made it for me! It was DELICIOUS!!

Soy-Grilled Mahi Mahi recipe with Korean Dipping Sauce
 
Ingredients:
Mahi Mahi (there was only a frozen piece available when Matt went but it wasn't bad! Matt did the same recipe with a pork chop because he doesn't eat seafood)

Sauce/Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy sauce (we use Gluten Free/Low Sodium soy sauce)
1 1/2 T Rice vinegar
1 T sesame oil
2 T Splenda or brown sugar (We just did 1 T of brown sugar to cut down on the sweetness/sugar)
1 green onion, thinly sliced (We forgot to buy this, but we'll definitely add it next time)
1 tsp. garlic puree (we just used regular chopped garlic
pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce (I put Sriracha in mine, yum!)

Instructions:

Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Splenda or brown sugar, green onion, garlic puree and cayenne or hot sauce in small bowl. Put half of mixture into a small ziploc bag with the two pieces of fish and marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

While fish marinates, spray grill with non-stick spray or wipe with olive oil, then preheat grill to medium-high (you can only hold your hand there 2-3 seconds.)

Put fish on grill with top side down and grill 2-3 minutes (until you can start to see grill marks, I have to lift it up to see.) Rotate 45 degrees on same side and cook 2-3 minutes more to get criss-cross marks. Turn fish over and cook about 3-4 minutes more. Total cooking time will not be more than 8-10 minutes, The fish should feel barely firm when it's done; don't overcook. Serve hot, with dipping sauce on the side.

As you can see, we ate this with brown rice and broccoli that was marinated in the same sauce and grilled.

I also made the yummiest dessert tonight:



What you see above is two spoonfuls of 0% Plain (unsweetened) Fage Greek Yogurt mixed with some honey and cinnamon. Then I added some fresh raspberries and a sliced banana and drizzed with more honey (I know honey isn't "healthy" but it's nature's most natural sugar so I don't feel TOO guilty!)

This dessert was DELICIOUS and I'll definitely make it again when I have another sweet tooth (which is all the time!)
