Servings: 2
Equipment
- Gas Grill - with a thermometer
Ingredients
For The Fish:
- 1 lb mahi mahi fillet skin on for easier grilling
- 1 - 2 tbsp Fajita seasoning recipe below, store bought is also great
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt
Fajita Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
To Serve:
- Diced mango
- Shredded Cabbage soaked in ice water
- Fresh Cilantro
- Salsa Verde
- Black Beans
- Yellow Rice
- Lime Wedges
Instructions
- Pat the fish dry. Drizzle over oil, sprinkle on fajita seasoning and a generous pinch of salt. Rub all over to coat fish. Let sit while you get the grill ready.
- Get grill preheated to 450°F. Clean the grates, and then rub them with a paper towel dipped in oil to help prevent any sticking.
- Grill the fish flesh side down for 4 minutes. Be sure to close the grill and adjust burners to maintain 450°F. It doesn’t need to be exact, but make sure the grill doesn’t get extremely hot or loose too much heat. Gently flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes apart. (This will depend on how thick your mahi fillets are, the one I cooked here was very thick, so you may need a minute or two less cooking time if you have a thinner piece of fish.)
- Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes. Then, cut into portions and pull off the skin to serve. (Leaving the skin on makes it much easier to flip on the grill and keeps the fish super moist.)
- Serve your grilled mahi mahi with rice, black beans, salsa verde, shredded cabbage, cilantro, mango, and plenty of lime.
