- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
