Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 6oz mahi mahi filets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley for garnishing (optional)

Method
 

  1. Take a sheet tray and place the Mahi Mahi filets on it. Now brush olive oil on all sides of the filets and set aside.
  2. Mix black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt in a small bowl. Use this mixture to season the filets. Rub the seasoning well on the fish to allow the flavors to infuse. Allow to marinate for a few minutes.
  3. Get your grill ready by preheating it and lightly oiling the grates over medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, place the Mahi Mahi filet flesh-side down. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side till you get your desired doneness.
  4. Take the fish off the grill and brush with melted butter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

Although Mahi Mahi can be eaten medium-rare, most people prefer it well done. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the center of the filet. A temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit indicates that it is well done.
