Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for oiling the grill grates
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus whole leaves, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 5- to 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets
Lime wedges and cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Heat the oil and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Sprinkle the mahi-mahi generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and cook until it releases from the grill and has grill marks, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes more.
  • Divide the fish among 4 plates and spoon some of the garlic-lime oil over top. Serve with lime wedges and cooked white rice and the remaining sauce on the side. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mahi-mahi: Look for fish that has a bright pink or reddish color and a firm texture. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts of fish. This is especially important for marinating, as the marinade will be able to penetrate the fish more easily.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, or about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately: Mahi-mahi is best served immediately after cooking. This will help to preserve its delicate flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Lime-marinated mahi-mahi is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The marinade infuses the fish with a bright, citrusy flavor, while the cooking method helps to preserve its delicate texture. Served with a side of your favorite vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
