How to Marinate Mahi Mahi

Make-Ahead Instructions
It’s a cinch to make this marinade recipe ahead of time. Simply whisk together the ingredients and store the mixture in an airtight jar in the fridge. Then, marinate your dolphin fish fillets 30 minutes before you’d like to cook the fish.
Frozen mahi mahi: If you use frozen fish, be sure to thaw your fillets before you start marinating them. I recommend letting the fish fillets thaw in the fridge overnight.Dry thoroughly: The best way to get the most flavor into your fish is by drying them first. Be sure to thoroughly dry each piece of fish with a paper towel before adding them to your prepared marinade.Baste it: Sometimes, if the fillets are too large, they may not fit in one layer while marinating, even if it is in a large bowl. If this is the case, I suggest basting them a few times to ensure each piece has a generous layer of marinade.
