Let’s Eat!
Utilizing the energetics of rebuilding strength and resetting our own individual Time Code (see: Take your time or time will take you), this week’s intentional recipe is based around one of my favorite choices in grilled fish. Mahi Mahi.
Combined with the Asian flavors of soy, ginger and orange, this recipe is sure to ignite the energetics of inner strength to make the big changes needed and help reset the circadian rhythm of your body. As a bonus, over time you will begin flowing with and controlling your 5 ft reality.
Mahi-Mahi or “Dolphinfish”, not related to the uber intelligent mammal, is a colorful fish with a long body and blunt face. Its dorsal fin runs the entire length of its body. Coined Mahi-Mahi or “strong strong” by the Polynesian Natives of Hawaii, this fish has a delightfully thick texture and is great for absorbing the flavors and intentions it is paired with.
Story Time!
I remember the first time I had Mahi-Mahi. I believe I was around 8 or 9 and it was a hot California summer. I think it was 118° that day. My mother came home with a beautiful Mahi loin she purchased from the fish market. I thought the name was really fun so it made it easier to remember this short fish lesson.
I watched as she broke it down into individual filets and explained to me how to cut into it correctly, “Go against the grain or it won’t cook up tender” she’d say in her confusing Mississippi-Indiana accent. The point was also raised that this fish was “steaky” and great for tacos. Tacos were everything growing up…still are.
That night my parents had friends over for an evening BBQ and we had Mahi-Mahi, Shark, and Skirt Steak tacos with all the beans, potato salad, fruit salad and green salad you could eat. I’m not sure if it was illegal to eat shark back in the day but regardless, it was still delicious.
This week I wanted to bring back the magic of this delicious fish and honor it with the marriage of soy, ginger and orange. Marinated, grilled (it’s GREAT pan seared too) and plated with your favorite vegetable and grain/starch. I choose broccoli and couscous because I was stoked well in both.
This intentional dish can help you take back your power over YOUR intentional time, while reminding you that “to be colorful is to be strong.” The black and white realm just doesn’t work anymore, color is power. Fuck all that gray.

Orange-Ginger Marinade
1 Lb Mahi Mahi filets

1 T garlic- minced
1 T orange juice- fresh squeezed
¼ C soy sauce
2 T honey
2 T dry red wine
1/8 t cayenne pepper
Salt and Pepper to taste
IMPORTANT REMINDER- If you are using frozen fish filets make sure to defrost them in the refrigerator for 24 hours. This reduces any fishy-ness that may flare up during the cooking process.
Grocery List
1 lb Mahi Mahi
1 Orange- I like Navel or Blood Orange for this recipe
1 Garlic Bulb
1 Ginger Root
Honey
1 box Couscous (or your favorite grain)
Dry Red Wine- I used stale Cabernet I had in the kitchen. Zinfindel is also a good varietal for this recipe. You can also use Sherry or Red Wine vinegar if you like more of a bite in your fish filet flavor.
1 Bottle Soy Sauce
Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Measurements
Yield 2-3 people

2 T honey
2 T dry red wine
1/8 t cayenne pepper

Preparation Command
Take a deep breath and ground yourself. The world is in a hurry, but you are not.
Connect with your Peach Power with 5 deep breaths while tapping your stomach, right above your belly button with the first two fingers on your right hand. Speak your command with sovereign authority. No energy on this Earth can override your true sovereign authority.
Preparation Command:
Out loud in a full voice is the best and most powerful way to set your intentions.
“I command the removal of all external energies off of my ingredients from corporate entities, farming, transportation, personnel and storage. I am a sovereign and natural human. I own my power. I own my health. I own my wealth.”
Now, check in with your body and your surroundings.
How do you feel? Is there a resistance? Is there a phone ringing, car honking or child crying? The first time you make this command you may feel a pressure, distraction or resistance. It’s just the old intentional energetics trying to intimidate you in your new power. Know that you hold the power to override this feeling.
Repeat command as needed.
Time To Make Dinner!
Grilled Orange-Ginger Mahi Mahi with caramelized broccoli and couscous
Intentional Recipe
Heat oven to 375°F
Intention: “I set my intention over this marinade to energetically dominate any external power control systems. This marinade will ignite the colorful Mahi-Mahi power for sovereign authority over my thoughts and emotions. I am in control of my power source.”
Set your intention on the marinade as you add your minced garlic, minced ginger, orange juice, olive oil, cayenne, and honey to Soy sauce base in bowl. Whisk together until all elements are thoroughly blended. Save 2-3 T of marinade for broccoli.
Intention: “I set my intention to enhance my power back into my body stabilizing my emotions and syncing up with my circadian rhythm. I am open to inspiration and heightened self-awareness. I am my own power source.”
Set your intention on your Mahi-Mahi filets. Add to marinade and chill in fridge 30-45 minutes.
Before marinade. Mahi filets. Intention: “I set my intention for my broccoli to support the healing of my blood by purging all inorganic free radicals. I ask my broccoli to support my ancestral connection for natural healing and conscious growth. I am the Queen/King of my body.”
Set your intention on your head of broccoli. Cut into bit sized florets.
Intention: “ I set my intention to solidify my power within my immune system and find common ground within my community. My home is my first community and I am the communal leader.”
Set your intention on your couscous water. Water remembers. Then prepare couscous as directed on box. Fluff with fork when ready. Set aside.
Intention: “I set my intention to stabilize my self-worth for an abundant future and the strength to dig through the layers of my inner strength. I own the wealth of my health. I attract material gains.”
Set your intention on your red (purple) onion. Slice onion in half from root to top. Peel off shell layer. Save ½ onion for a rainy day. Cut half of the remaining onion into ¼” half-moon slices.
Place broccoli and red onion in medium sized mixing bowl. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper and 1 tsp minced garlic. For extra spice, sprinkle in 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper. Stir ingredients together.
Spaciously spread broccoli and red (purple) onion on lined baking sheet. They need space to caramelize properly. Drizzle with remaining marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place in oven. Bake for 15 minutes then turn over. Bake an additional 12-15 minutes.
Heat grill pan or large skillet over Medium-High Heat with 2 T olive oil.
After Marinade. Mahi Filets. Place marinated Mahi Mahi filets skin side down on grill pan, outside grill or large skillet. Sear for 3-5 minutes. Flip over with fish spatula and cook another 3-4 minutes. Fish will begin to flake slightly when fully cooked.
Remove broccoli from oven. The stems should be caramelized and dark.
Remove fish from heat. Plate Mahi Mahi filets with Couscous and Caramelized Broccoli and onions. Enjoy!
Enjoy your Grilled Orange-Ginger Mahi Mahi with caramelized broccoli and couscous.
Option #1 - Mahi Mahi Tacos- Simply break up Mahi filets into bite sized pieces, place on a warm tortilla and top with shredded napa cabbage, pickled onion and drizzle your favorite aioli. Don’t forget to set your intention on these additional accouterments.
