Ingredients

• 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
• 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, mint, cilantro, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and rum if using.

Step 2

Place the mahi mahi fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the fish is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the mahi mahi fillets from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the mahi mahi fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

Garnish with lime wedges on the side and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.
