Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the leftover marinade.
Step 6
Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with steamed rice, a fresh salad, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
