Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the fillets on the grill.
Grill the Mahi Mahi for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled Mahi Mahi with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
