Mahi mahi may be popular blackened but grilling it on the Model G+ Dual-Zone Electric Grill is the way to go – especially with this recipe that elevates the already fantastic fish.
Even non-fish fans will appreciate the multi-part flavor profile, with a citrus-herb marinade that brings a scrumptious zest, and a mango relish that creates a sweet and spicy contrast. While the mahi mahi tastes best with both the marinade and relish, you can try it with just one or the other based on your preference.
If you want to master temperature control on your electric grill, grilled mahi mahi is a great middle ground between thick ribeyes and dainty scallops, with a firm, meaty, and moist texture that thrives under high heat. So, give it a try, and find out everything else you can do with our ultimate electric grilling guide.
FAQs
Can I marinate the mahi mahi for shorter or longer than 30 minutes?
Thirty minutes is the sweet spot. Marinating for less than 30 minutes prevents the marinade from penetrating deep enough into the meat, so it will only be surface level. However, as a fish, mahi mahi has little connective tissue (especially compared to steak), so marinating any longer than 30 minutes risks making the meat mushy.
Can I cook the mahi mahi above or below an internal temperature of 140℉?
While medium rare 130℉ - 135℉ is perfect for steaks, it can be untasty, unhealthy, and even dangerous for mahi mahi. On the other hand, cooking your mahi mahi above 140℉ will make the fish dry, tough, and rubbery. Cooking to an internal temp of 140℉ creates a perfect balance between flavor, texture, and food safety. When fully cooked, your grilled mahi mahi should be tender and flake easily with a fork.
Can I try this recipe with a different type of fish or seafood?
Absolutely. Marinating and cooking times may vary slightly, but this citrus marinade and mango relish is delicious with other types of fish, or even different seafood like shrimp or scallops. For other fish, we recommend tuna or salmon steaks, though try it out with your favorite fish and figure out what you like.
