This is an old favorite of ours that I haven't made since I got my Egg 2+ years ago.

Mahi Mahi Maui Style
Source: unsure, lots of sites have this recipe, none of them attribute the original author

3-4 mahi mahi fillets
2 tsp butter
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp teriyaki sauce
4 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp honey
2 tsp sesame seeds

Mix the marinade over medium heat and allow to cool. Marinate the fillets for 30 minutes while you preheat your Egg to 350f direct heat.

Just before grilling, lightly oil the grate. Place the meat side down for 3 minutes. Flip to skin side down and cook 5-8 minutes, until the fillet hits an internal temp of 140f.

If you are lucky, the skin will stick to the grill and you can lift the fillet clean off the skin with a spatula.

I made sweet and sour rice as a side so I took a little of the sweet and sour sauce to top the fillets. (recipe for that also below)

Sweet and Sour Sauce
Source: Adapted from About.com

1/3 cup white or rice vinegar (Note: rice vinegar gives better results)
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water
1/3 cup green bell pepper diced
1/3 cup pineapple diced

Saute the green pepper and pineapple over medium heat for about 5 minutes to soften. Add in the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and soy together over low heat. Add in the cornstarch slurry.

Serve over cooked rice and steal a little for the fish:)

This would be awesome with grilled chicken or pork too.
