Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 one-pound mahi-mahi fillets, skinned
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
2 medium-size ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Run your hand lightly over the mahi-mahi fillets and if you feel any little bones sticking up, pull those pin bones out with a tweezer or small pliers.
  • Mix the cumin, olive oil, half the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Add the fish, turning it over once to coat both sides, then cover and refrigerate the mahi-mahi for about two hours.
  • While the fish is marinating, toast the cumin seeds by tossing in a hot skillet until they give off a rich aroma. Transfer to a small dish and mix with the tomato and remaining lemon juice. Season to taste with cayenne pepper and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill.
  • Grill the mahi-mahi, turning it once, until the fish is nicely seared and just cooked throughout. Remove it from the grill with a spatula and put on a platter. Sprinkle the fillets with the reserved cumin seed, tomato and lemon juice mixture and serve hot or at room temperature.

Grilled cumin scented mahi-mahi is a delightful dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is flaky and moist, and the cumin adds a warm, earthy flavor.
