Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but not more than 2 hours.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the mahi mahi fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 137°F (58°C).
Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
