Ingredients

  • 1 pound Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon halved
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Remove the mahi mahi from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. 
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375 degrees F), or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. 
  • Pat the mahi mahi dry with a paper towel and brush both sides with olive oil.
  • Combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt, dried thyme, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the mahi mahi.
  • Brush the grill grates with some neutral oil (like avocado or canola) on a piece of paper towel with some tongs so the fish doesn’t stick. 
  • Place the fish fillets and halved lemon (cut side down) on the grill and close the grill cover. Allow to cook for 5 minutes. 
  • Flip the fillets over and allow to cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the fish flakes apart with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. 
  • Serve immediately with juice from the grilled lemon and chopped parsley.
