Ingredients

• 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Place Mahi Mahi fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, roughly 400°F (204°C). If using a gas grill, brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the fillets on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

Serve the grilled Mahi Mahi with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.
