Bacon Wrapped, Mahi - Mahi

I made 3 different dishes with Mahi - Mahi, Dolphin, the day that I made this one. It was, by far the best of the lot. Not that the others weren't good, but that they were predictable. The lesson learned, is that something new, will always take precedent on your table, even though the other items are real good.

You could easily do this recipe with Shrimp, Lobster, Wahoo, or any other firm textured fish.




1. Begin by cutting the bacon, first into thirds, then each third in half, lengthwise. I use real thick bacon, if you use thin, supermarket style bacon, use 1/2 of a slice for each.

Remove the blood strip from the dolphin, and clean up any skin that's been left on. Cut the dolphin into 1" cubes.



2. Wrap the bacon around the dolphin, and secure with a toothpick.



3. Place the wrapped pieces into a bowl, and add the blacken and dark brown sugar.



4. Pour some Rub on and rub in well on all sides until all the meat is really coated. I used about 2 cups of the rub to do this. Place in a non-reactive pan, cover and refrigerate overnight. This is a dry marinade.

5. Place the warps on a medium hot grill and cook until the bacon is done. Be careful that the grill isn't too hot, or the bacon will flame up, and you'll burn all of the toothpicks.

You could also cook these in an oven, by placing them on a parchment lined sheet pan, and baking at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

6. To serve, place them on a plate and drizzle with a little lemon juice.
