How To Make Blackstone Mahi Mahi

Step One: In a shallow dish, mix the teriyaki sauce, sherry, and garlic. Add the mahi mahi fillets, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step Two: While the fish marinates, combine the salsa ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step Three: After marinating, drain and discard the marinade. Place the mahi mahi on an oiled grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve the grilled mahi mahi with the prepared salsa.

Expert Tips

💡 Use Fresh Fish: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh mahi mahi. If using frozen fish, make sure to thaw it completely before cooking for even cooking results.

💡 Don’t Overcook: Mahi mahi cooks quickly, so avoid overcooking it. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

💡 Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings. A simple combination of lemon, garlic, and parsley works wonders, but you can also try a touch of paprika, cumin, or chili powder for extra flavor.

💡 Oil the Griddle: Lightly oil the Blackstone griddle before cooking the fish to ensure it doesn’t stick and to achieve a crisp, golden exterior.

💡 Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your mahi mahi is perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached the ideal internal temperature of 145°F.

💡 Serve with Fresh Sides: Pair the mahi mahi with fresh sides like a citrus salad, grilled vegetables, or quinoa for a balanced and flavorful meal.

📦Storing & Reheating 🔥

• Storing: Store any leftover Blackstone Mahi Mahi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Make sure the fish has cooled completely before refrigerating to preserve its texture.
• Reheating: To reheat, place the mahi mahi on a baking sheet and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. You can also reheat it in the air fryer at 350°F for 4-5 minutes to retain its crispy exterior.
