Fresh fish is a staple on the beautiful island of St. Barths. I love this recipe because it uses bright citrus and herbs to make the natural flavors of the Mahi Mahi shine without any heavy sauces.

It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner when you want something light and healthy. If you have extra fresh limes on hand, squeeze a bit of the juice over the fish right before you serve it to add an extra pop of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on a plate.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Brush the mixture generously over both sides of the fish fillets.

  4. 4

    Preheat your grill or a non stick pan over medium high heat.

  5. 5

    Cook the fish for about four to five minutes per side until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.

💡 Tips

Serve this fish alongside some grilled vegetables or a simple quinoa salad for a complete meal. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, but it truly tastes best when it is eaten fresh.
