Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lime wedges
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the leftover marinade.
Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with steamed rice, a fresh salad, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
