Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Lime-Marinated Mahi Mahi.
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.
Step 2
Mix it all until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 3
Next, gently add the mahi mahi fillets to the bowl, turning them to ensure they’re evenly coated in that zesty marinade.
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.
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.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to place the mahi mahi on the hot grill.
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.
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.
Step 9
Enjoy this delicious dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
