Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper to create a zesty marinade.
Chop cilantro finely and mix into the marinade.
Coat the mahi-mahi fillets with the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, aiming for 375°F to 450°F, oiling the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the marinated mahi-mahi fillets for 3-5 minutes on each side until opaque and flaky.
Remove from the grill, garnish with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
