Inspired by a recipe in Eating Well
I had come across this recipe awhile ago and have been wanting to try it. Since I just recently found a reliable fish market here, this was one of the first recipes that I tried. It came out quite good. You can really taste the mojito flavor in the fish. I happened to use swordfish but I am sure it would be good on any white fish, shrimp, scallops, or even chicken.
2 shallots, minced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup rum
1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1. Combine ingredients is a bowl or in a ziplock bad.
2. Add fish (there is enough marinade for 1-2 pounds). Marinate for 1 hour.
3. Cook fish to desired “doneness.”
