Grilled Mahi Mahi is a light and flavorful dish, perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The mild, slightly sweet flavor of Mahi Mahi makes it an excellent fish for grilling, as it holds up well to high heat and takes on marinades beautifully. A simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs enhances the natural taste of the fish while keeping it moist and tender. Whether served with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or rice, this dish is versatile and ideal for summer barbecues or a simple weeknight dinner.
