Zesty Lime-Marinated Mahi Mahi

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Lime-Marinated Mahi Mahi.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together some olive oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, a pinch of cayenne pepper, lime zest if you’re feeling adventurous, black pepper, and a sprinkle of salt.

2. Step 2

   Mix it all until it’s beautifully combined.

3. Step 3

   Next, gently add the mahi mahi fillets to the bowl, turning them to ensure they’re evenly coated in that zesty marinade.

4. Step 4

   Let those fillets soak up the flavors for at least 15 minutes—this is where the magic happens! While the fish is marinating, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.

5. Step 5

   Once the mahi mahi has marinated, carefully remove the fillets from the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade, and toss the leftover marinade away.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to place the mahi mahi on the hot grill.

7. Step 7

   Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is perfectly flaky and has a lovely golden-brown color.

8. Step 8

   When it’s done, serve your grilled mahi mahi with a sprinkle of lime zest on top for that extra pop of flavor.
