  5. Grill on hot grill pan for 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch fillet or until fish is firm and opaque.
  6. Asparagus: 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.

  11. Set the orange disks aside.
  12. In a skillet with a cover, bring 1-inch water to a boil with the zest of the oranges and grated fresh gingerroot.
  13. Allow the orange zest and ginger to simmer for at least 1 minute then add salt and asparagus spears.
  14. Simmer the spears 3 to 5 minutes until just tender.
  15. Drain the asparagus.
  16. Discard the orange zest and ginger.
  17. Assemble a few spears on each dinner plate, layering them back and forth, crisscrossing the spears over orange slices.
  18. Sprinkle sesame seeds over asparagus and oranges and top with 1 portion of grilled mahi mahi.
  19. Garnish assembled fish and asparagus with chopped or thinly sliced chives.
