Equipment

  • Stove
  • Grill

Ingredients

For the Fish

  • 4 Mahi Mahi Fillets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil, or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

For the Salad

  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • fresh grated parmesan
  • Balsamic glaze, for topping

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.
