Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Mahi Mahi

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Topping

    In a separate bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss gently.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the Mahi Mahi is grilled, place it on a serving plate, top with the tomato and basil mixture, and drizzle with additional lemon juice if desired. Serve with your choice of two sides.
