Equipment

  • Grill
  • Tongs
  • Basting brush
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 4 (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  • Marinate the Mahi Mahi: Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and brush both sides with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
  • Prepare the Grill Grates: Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the Mahi Mahi: Place the marinated Mahi Mahi fillets on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork. Baste with the remaining marinade while grilling.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a fork to check the thickest part of the fillet. The fish should be opaque and easily flake when done.
  • Resting Time: Remove the Mahi Mahi from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the fish moist.
  • Serve: Plate the grilled Mahi Mahi on a bed of rice, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve with a crisp salad on the side.

Notes

  1. Ensure the grill is well-heated before placing the fish to get those beautiful grill marks.
  2. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
  3. Experiment with different marinade herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
  4. Fresh Mahi Mahi is preferable, but frozen fillets work well too; just ensure they are fully thawed before grilling.
