Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Brush the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the mahi mahi fillets generously with the olive oil marinade on both sides and let them marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the diced pineapple, honey, and white wine vinegar. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the pineapple softens and the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped mint leaves and optional red chili flakes for a bit of heat. Set the pineapple sauce aside and keep it warm.
Place the mahi mahi fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to retain the fish's moisture and tenderness.
Transfer the grilled mahi mahi fillets to a serving platter and spoon the warm pineapple sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
