Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 mahi mahi fillets (4 oz each)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- mango salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil.
- Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and brush them with olive oil.
- Mix the dried spices together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mix on the fillets.
- Place the fish on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and the fish easily releases from the grill. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the mahi mahi from the grill and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. If desired, top with mango salsa.
Notes
-
- You can use fresh or frozen mahi mahi. Be sure to defrost frozen fish fully and pat it dry before cooking.
-
- Mahi mahi has a firm texture, making it ideal for grilling. However, you can also cook it on a stovetop grill pan or even in the oven.
-
- Avoid overcooking mahi mahi, as it can become dry. Aim for a total cooking time of 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) as checked with a meat thermometer.
-
- Leftover mahi mahi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can use them to make mahi mahi tacos.
