Instructions
Grill Method
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat; about 425˚F to 450˚F.
- Pat dry the fish fillets and set on a plate.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Brush fish with the oil mixture.
- Brush grill grates with oil so that the fish doesn’t stick.
- Grill the fish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until nice golden grill marks appear and the flesh is set. Don’t overcook or the fish will be dry and rubbery.
- In the meantime, prepare the salad by combining prepared tomatoes, basil, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl; stir until well incorporated.
- Remove fish from the grill and transfer to a plate. Add some salad over each fish fillet.
- Grate fresh parmesan cheese over the salad and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve and enjoy!
Stove Top Method
- Prepare the fish and tomato salad per the instructions above.
- Heat a nonstick pan or a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- When pan is hot, cover the bottom of the pan with olive oil.
- Add the Mahi Mahi to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until set.
- Remove from pan; garnish with prepared tomato salad and serve.
