Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 teaspoons, chopped Fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, sliced Pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons, drained Capers
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Red onion

Instructions
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
Pour the marinade over the Mahi Mahi fillets, turning them to ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, red onion, basil, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Mix well and set aside.
Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
Grease the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the Mahi Mahi fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Remove the cooked Mahi Mahi from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Top each fillet with the prepared tomato, olive, and caper mixture before serving.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
