Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mahi-mahi steaks. Look for steaks that are firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid steaks that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the mahi-mahi steaks before cooking. This will help to infuse them with flavor and moisture. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic is a great option.
  • Cook the mahi-mahi steaks over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
  • Serve the mahi-mahi steaks with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, beans, vegetables, and salsa.

Conclusion:
