Garlicky Lemon Mahi-Mahi

Garlicky Lemon Mahi-Mahi

Food Wiki
If you haven't experienced the delight of mahi mahi, it's high time you do. This fish variety boasts a firm texture and mild flavor that transforms into a beautifully flaky and tender delicacy when cooked. What's more, it's incredibly versatile—you can bake, sear, grill, or fry it, and the possibilities for toppings and dressings are endless.
When purchasing mahi mahi, you'll typically find it skinless, conveniently portioned into fillets or steaks. Look for firm flesh with a pinkish-beige hue. Any darker areas may possess a slightly stronger taste and can be trimmed if desired. If your mahi mahi still sports its gorgeous gold and yellow skin, be sure to remove it before cooking to fully appreciate its culinary potential.
