Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground black pepper, paprika, and salt (if using).
Place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fillets from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on the hot grill. Discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the mahi mahi fillets for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Transfer the grilled mahi mahi to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped dill.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
