1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, and thyme.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
2. Marinate the Mahi Mahi:
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush or rub the marinade all over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Allow the fillets to marinate for at least 15 minutes. You can also refrigerate them for up to 1 hour for a more intense flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 200-230°C or 400-450°F).
Oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Mahi Mahi:
Place the marinated fillets on the grill.
Grill the fillets for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
Avoid moving the fish too much to get nice grill marks and to prevent sticking.
5. Serve:
Remove the fillets from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled Mahi Mahi with lemon wedges and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
Mahi Mahi: Look for fillets that are firm and have a fresh, clean smell. Thicker fillets will require slightly longer grilling time.
Marinade: For more flavor, consider marinating the fillets for longer or even overnight.
Grilling: If you have a fish grilling basket or a piece of aluminum foil, it can help prevent the fish from sticking to the grates.
