Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the Mahi Mahi fillets, turning them to ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 6

Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.

Step 7

Grease the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Grill the Mahi Mahi fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

Remove the cooked Mahi Mahi from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 10
