Fish Marinade
- 4 to 6 (5 ounce) mahi-mahi fillets
- 33333333/100000000 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Sauce
- 1 batch Bell Pepper Chimichurri (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Stir together all of the marinade ingredients, except the fish, in an airtight bowl. Add the fish and cover in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Step 2: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on the hot skillet (they should sizzle on contact with the pan). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.
- Serve: Transfer into plates and top with a drizzle of the optional Bell Pepper Chimichurri.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: You can also turn these into kebabs by dicing the mahi into 1-inch pieces before marinating. Then skewer the fish (we like adding some sliced zucchini and bell pepper) and grill or pan-cook for 8 to 10 minutes total, or until cooked through. Rotate the skewers every few minutes.
