Ingredients

¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
⅛ teaspoon grated lime zest
2 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
2 twists lime zest

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, lime juice, and grated lime zest together in a bowl to make the marinade.
Place the mahi mahi fillets in the marinade and turn to coat; allow to marinate at least 15 minutes.
Cook on the preheated grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Garnish with the twists of lime zest to serve.
