== Directions ==
# Preheat grill pan to over medium high to high heat.
# Season mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper.
# Combine the lime juice, dark soy, ginger and a little vegetable or canola oil in a shallow dish.
# Turn the mahi mahi in the citrus soy marinade and let it hang out for 10 minutes.
# Grill on hot grill pan for 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch fillet or until fish is firm and opaque.
# Take 1 spear of asparagus and hold it at each and.
# Bend the asparagus until it snaps and breaks.
# Use this spear as your guide on where to trim the ends of your bundle of spears.
# Using a peeler, make thin long strips of orange zest from both oranges.
# Cut the ends off the zested oranges and stand them up right on a cutting board.
# Remove the pith in strips using sharp knife and cutting down from the top of the orange.
# Discard the pith.
# When the oranges are both peeled and trimmed, turn them on their sides and slice into ¼-inch rounds, cross sectioning the whole.
# Set the orange disks aside.
# In a skillet with a cover, bring 1-inch water to a boil with the zest of the oranges and grated fresh gingerroot.
# Allow the orange zest and ginger to simmer for at least 1 minute then add salt and asparagus spears.
# Simmer the spears 3 to 5 minutes until just tender.
# Drain the asparagus.
# Discard the orange zest and ginger.
# Assemble a few spears on each dinner plate, layering them back and forth, crisscrossing the spears over orange slices.
# Sprinkle sesame seeds over asparagus and oranges and top with 1 portion of grilled mahi mahi.
# Garnish assembled fish and asparagus with chopped or thinly sliced chives.
