Chili Lime Mahi Mahi Food

CHILI LIME MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Add the Mahi fillets and the lime juice to a ziploc bag and refrigerate for 20 minutes or more to marinate.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan to a medium heat. Sprinkle the mahi with chili powder and salt on both sides.
• Add the fillets to the heated pan and saute on both sides until the fish is white and flaky throughout (about 4 minutes per side).

MAHI-MAHI WITH GARLIC-LIME OIL

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.

LIME-MARINATED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, lime juice, and grated lime zest together in a bowl to make the marinade.
• Place the mahi mahi fillets in the marinade and turn to coat; allow to marinate at least 15 minutes.
• Cook on the preheated grill until the 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.
