Mahi Mahi Marinade
The ultimate Mahi Mahi Marinade recipe to elevate your baked, pan-seared, or grilled mahi mahi with incredible flavor. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this quick marinade is all you need to transform an otherwise simple fish into a standout dish.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 6-8 oz mahi mahi fillets
Instructions
- Place olive oil, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, honey, paprika, kosher salt, and pepper in a large bowl big enough to accommodate mahi mahi fillets. Give it a whisk until fully combined.
- Reserve two tablespoons of the marinade and set it aside.
- Thoroughly dry the fillets on both sides using paper towels.
- Add the now-dried fillets to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- When ready to cook (or grill), remove from the marinade and cook using your preferred method. Once cooked, drizzle it with the reserved marinade.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 2/3 cups of marinade which should be good for marinating four 6-8 oz of mahi mahi fillets. If you are using more fish, you can easily multiply the recipe.
- Make-ahead Instructions: Mix all the marinade ingredients in a mason jar, give it a shake, and store in the refrigerator. Thirty minutes before you are ready to cook or grill your Mahi Mahi, dry them thoroughly and place them in a large shallow plate. Pour marinade over making sure that the fish fillets are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
