Ingredients
Main Ingredients
-
- ▢2 (6 oz.) Mahi Mahi fillets
- ▢1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning Mix
-
- ▢1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- ▢1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- ▢1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ▢1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
- ▢1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- ▢Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mahi Mahi fillets: Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on a sheet tray and brush all sides with olive oil. Set aside.
- Make the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, stir together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Use the seasoning to season the fish on the top and sides, ensuring all of it is used. Rub the seasoning thoroughly onto the fish.
- Prepare and heat the grill: Preheat your grill and oil the grates over medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, place the Mahi Mahi fillets flesh side down onto the grill.
- Grill the fillets: Grill the fish for 3 to 5 minutes per side until your desired doneness is reached. Flip the fillets only once or as little as possible to prevent breaking. A well-done fillet has an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Finish and serve: Immediately after grilling, brush the tops of the fish with melted butter. Garnish with optional parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh Mahi Mahi for the best flavor and texture.
- Oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking.
- A fish thermometer can help ensure the desired doneness.
- The melted butter enhances the flavor but can be replaced with olive oil for a lighter option.
