Ingredients

• Mahi Mahi fillets - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated Mahi Mahi fillets.
4. Grill the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
