Best Mahi Mahi With Cilantro And Lime Recipes

MAHI-MAHI WITH GARLIC-LIME OIL

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Heat the oil and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisk to combine and set aside.
• Sprinkle the mahi-mahi generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and cook until it releases from the grill and has grill marks, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes more.
• Divide the fish among 4 plates and spoon some of the garlic-lime oil over top. Serve with lime wedges and cooked white rice and the remaining sauce on the side. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

CILANTRO CRUSTED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper.
• Dredge only one side of each fillet in the cilantro.
• Place fish, cilantro side down, into the hot olive oil, being careful not to crowd the pan.
• Cook until cilantro is crisp, checking often not to burn. (I check after 1 minute, then every 30 seconds after that.).
• Turn fish over, then place in preheated oven.
• Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• If you do not have a large oven proof skillet, you can cook fish a couple of fillets at a time, then transfer to a baking dish to finish cooking. You can use less oil or nonstick spray if using a nonstick pan, just remember to add more before adding more fish. Add extra cooking time since the dish is not preheated.
