Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2-3 limes freshly squeezed
- 2-6 ounce fillets of mahi-mahi fresh or frozen
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup fresh mango salsa
Instructions
- Whisk together the garlic, olive oil, cilantro, and lime juice in a shallow dish and add the mahi-mahi fillets. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. (Alternatively, you can add the marinade and fish fillets to a re-sealable plastic bag to marinate)
- While the fish is marinating, heat a charcoal, pellet, or gas grill to medium-high heat and coat the grill grates with oil. (use a high smoke point oil on the grates). If you are using a pellet grill, Alder, Apple, or Maple pellets are great choices with Mahi Mahi.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them directly on the grill grates.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper and grill for five minutes on one side. Carefully flip them over and grill for an additional four minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Served topped with ½ cup fresh mango salsa.
