From a recipe card found in the seafood section of the grocery store. Saving it on Zaar for safe keeping because I love Mahi Mahi and during the hot summer months, it's nice to be able to cook it on the grill.

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.

CILANTRO CRUSTED MAHI MAHI

I have never been a huge fan of fish, but this is a mild, simple and delicious tasting entree! I like to make it with tilapia as well. You could probably use any mild tasting white fish. I have also used dried cilantro when my store was out of fresh.

Categories     Mahi Mahi

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs mahi mahi fillets, bones and skin removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge only one side of each fillet in the cilantro.
  • Place fish, cilantro side down, into the hot olive oil, being careful not to crowd the pan.
  • Cook until cilantro is crisp, checking often not to burn. (I check after 1 minute, then every 30 seconds after that.).
  • Turn fish over, then place in preheated oven.
  • Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • If you do not have a large oven proof skillet, you can cook fish a couple of fillets at a time, then transfer to a baking dish to finish cooking. You can use less oil or nonstick spray if using a nonstick pan, just remember to add more before adding more fish. Add extra cooking time since the dish is not preheated.

Conclusion:
