Ingredients

2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
2 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground
1 cup Pineapple fresh pineapple, diced

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the mahi-mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the fillets from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have grill marks.

Serve the grilled mahi-mahi fillets topped with the pineapple salsa. Enjoy the taste of Hawaii with every bite!

Notes

This dish pairs wonderfully with coconut rice or a side of steamed vegetables. Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade if desired.
