A vibrant and flavorful grilled mahi mahi recipe with a citrusy herb marinade.
Mash the garlic and salt into a paste using a mortar and pestle.
A mortar and pestle brings out the garlic's natural oils, enhancing the flavor.
Combine the garlic paste with rum, lime juice, mint, cilantro, chili, olive oil, honey, lime zest, cumin, and pepper in a resealable bag.
Mixing the marinade in a bag makes it easy to coat the fish evenly.
Add the mahi mahi fillets to the bag, seal, and gently massage to coat the fish with the marinade.
Marinate the fish for no more than 30 minutes to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the mahi mahi fillets on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Use a basting brush to apply leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Serve the grilled mahi mahi with a garnish of fresh herbs and lime wedges.
Adding a fresh garnish enhances the dish's presentation and flavor.
