Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Brush both sides of each fillet with a tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Season the fillets with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, fresh lemon zest, parsley, dill, and minced garlic. Stir well to mix and set aside as the lemon herb sauce.
Once the grill is heated, place the Mahi Mahi fillets directly on the grill grates.
Grill the fillets for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked Mahi Mahi to a serving platter.
Spoon the lemon herb sauce generously over the grilled fish.
Garnish with lemon wedges and additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh and vibrant flavors of this Whole30-friendly dish.
