Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Citrus Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, honey, and chopped cilantro until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the citrus marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Cooking Surface

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Mahi Mahi

    Remove the mahi mahi from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Carefully transfer the seared mahi mahi fillets to serving plates. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro leaves for added flavor and presentation.
