Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F.
Rinse the Mahi Mahi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of half the lemon, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Using a basting brush, coat both sides of each Mahi Mahi fillet with the olive oil mixture.
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on the preheated grill. If desired, place the lemon slices directly on the grill next to the fillets.
Grill the fillets for 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
Remove the fillets and grilled lemon slices (if used) from the grill.
Garnish the grilled Mahi Mahi with fresh parsley and a squeeze of grilled lemon juice before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
