  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese




 
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

Grilled Mahi Mahi


Ingredients:
6 (6 oz.) mahi mahi fish fillets, 1/2" thick
Dressing:
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt (you can omit)
1/8 tsp. white pepper

 Preparation:
  • Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels. For dressing, in a small bowl combine cilantro, lemon peel and juice, oil, honey, garlic, and salt. Mix well.
  •  Place fish fillets into glass baking pan and pour dressing over; turn fish to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly grease indoor electric grill and preheat or fire up the outside grill.  Drain fish, discarding marinade. Place fish on the grill rack, tucking under any thin edges. If using a covered grill, close lid.
  • Grill until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 2 to 3 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish on a two sided grill. On uncovered grill, cook for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish, turning once halfway through grilling. Makes 6 servings. 

Grilling fish can be tricky. I cheat and use foil on the grill with poked holes because I tend to flip the fish and it gracefully slides between the grates of the grill.
