Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 to 3 sprigs thyme, oregano, or other herbs
1 1/2 pounds mahimahi fillets

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the marinade: Combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin seeds, pepper, and herbs in a large resealable plastic bag or airtight plastic container. Shake well to combine.

    Step 2

    Add the fish, and shake gently to coat well with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

    Step 3

    Heat a grill or grill pan. Remove the fish from the marinade, letting excess drip off; grill until browned on the outside and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, turning once. Serve hot or at room temperature.
