Ingredients
- 2 (6 oz.) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Place the Mahi Mahi filets on a sheet tray and brush all sides with the olive oil, set aside.2 (6 oz.) Mahi Mahi fillets, 1 tablespoon olive oil
- In a small bowl stir together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Season the fish on the top and sides with the seasoning, use it all! Rub the seasoning on the fish.½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Prepare your grill and oil the grates over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the Mahi Mahi flesh side down onto the grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness. Try to flip it only once or as little as possible to not break up the fish. Well done is an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Immediately brush the tops of the fish with the melted butter and serve with a garnish of optional parsley and lemon wedges.1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Notes
- I suggest grilling the Mahi Mahi with the skin on. This will help keep the fish from falling apart on the grill. You can serve it with the skin on, although most people do not like the eat the skin of mahi-mahi because it can be chewy. You can also remove the skin right before serving. This is why I say no need to season the bottom of the fish skin since it will not be eaten anyway.
- It seems like a lot of seasoning to use, but it’s not, use it all, so flavorful!
- I suggest grilling a lemon to go alongside the Mahi Mahi. The smokey lemon juice adds the perfect touch on top. To do this, slice a lemon in half, brush with olive oil and sear it until dark golden brown directly on the grates while you cook the fish.
- You can eat Mahi Mahi medium-rare and above, however, I like it more well done and pull it at 160*F. It will continue to cook after it has been taken off the grill. Mahi Mahi has a firm and flaky texture, perfect for the meat lover in your life!
