Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture and tenderness.
Step 6
Remove the Mahi Mahi from the grill and let it rest for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
