Steps:
- Put the garlic and olive in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is soft and aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is softened.) Stir in the lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the fillets all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner--if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again). Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
- Place a bed of greens on 2 plates. Divide the fish between the plates and brush with some of the mojo. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the sauce.

Tips:
- Choose fresh mahi-mahi. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Season the fish simply. Mahi-mahi has a delicate flavor, so it doesn't need a lot of seasoning. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need.
- Grill the fish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out. Cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Make the roasted bell pepper sauce while the fish is grilling. This will give the sauce time to develop flavor. The roasted bell peppers can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the fish with the roasted bell pepper sauce and feta cheese. The sauce will add a delicious flavor to the fish, and the feta cheese will add a creamy richness.
Conclusion:
Grilled mahi-mahi with roasted bell pepper sauce and feta cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The fish is grilled to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. The feta cheese adds a creamy richness that ties the dish together. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
