Description

An extra limey marinade for mahi mahi with hints of cayenne pepper adds incredible flavor and zing to the tender fillets as they're grilled to perfection.

Ingredients

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
2 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
2 twists lime zest

Directions

1 Whisk olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cayenne pepper, lime zest, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Add mahi mahi fillets and turn to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
3 Remove mahi mahi from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
4 Cook mahi mahi on the preheated grill until fish flakes easily with a fork and is lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with the twists of lime zest to serve.
