Original Recipe Yield 2 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 2 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
  • 2 twists lime zest (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  2. Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, lime juice, and grated lime zest together in a bowl to make the marinade.
  3. Place the mahi mahi fillets in the marinade and turn to coat; allow to marinate at least 15 minutes.

  5. Garnish with the twists of lime zest to serve.
