While I can’t provide a specific recipe from that exact location, I can give you a general recipe for Grilled Mahi-Mahi that you can prepare with a Texan twist. Feel free to customize it to your liking.
Ingredients:
- 4 Mahi-Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the Mahi-Mahi fillets in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure each fillet is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can marinate it longer for more intense flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Remove the Mahi-Mahi from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the fillets on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry.
- Once the Mahi-Mahi is done, transfer it to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of flavor and color.
- Serve your grilled Mahi-Mahi with your favorite side dishes, such as Texas-style coleslaw, grilled corn, or a tasty Tex-Mex salsa.
Enjoy your Grilled Mahi-Mahi with a Briar Flats Texas flair! This dish is sure to satisfy your taste buds with its combination of spices and the smoky flavor from the grill.
