Method

Preparing the Mahi Mahi

  1. 1

    Marinate the Mahi Mahi

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the mahi mahi fillets and coat them evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated mahi mahi fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and easily flake with a fork.

Making Pico de Gallo
