Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a nice sear.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create a marinade.
Brush both sides of each Mahi Mahi fillet with the marinade, ensuring even coverage.
Lightly oil the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once done, transfer the fillets to a serving platter and let rest for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
