Lime Marinated Mahi Mahi
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
  • 2 twists lime zest
Instructions
1
Combine olive oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, a pinch of cayenne pepper, grated lime zest, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix well to create a uniform blend.
2
Add the mahi mahi fillets to the bowl and gently toss to coat the fish evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, giving the flavors time to penetrate the fish.
3
Heat up your outdoor grill to a medium temperature and lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
4
Remove the mahi mahi from its marinade and gently shake off any excess, discarding the remaining marinade.
5
Place the fish on the preheated grill and cook until it flakes easily with a fork and develops a light brown color on both sides, flipping it every 3 to 4 minutes.
6
Finish the dish by sprinkling a few twists of lime zest on top, adding a burst of citrus flavor to your finished meal.
