Mahi Mahi is a delicious, mild tasting fish that pairs beautifully with citrus. With firm flesh and a thick skin, it holds up well on the grill and can also be baked. If possible, buy fresh caught (not frozen) and cook it the same day. The meat should be pinkish with darker meat running through the middle. The skin should be bright and shiny. Use a grill pan for indoor cooking as I did here, or grill outdoors during the summer months. The marinade helps develop the grill lines and ensures that the fish will be moist every time. Try this recipe, you will not be disappointed!
