Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground black pepper, paprika, and salt (if using).
Step 2
Place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the fillets from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on the hot grill. Discard the leftover marinade.
Step 5
Grill the mahi mahi fillets for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 6
Transfer the grilled mahi mahi to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped dill.
Step 7
Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
