Grilled Mahi Mahi with Olive Oil and Lemon Juice

A terrific grilled fish that works for South Beach Phase 1.

Ingredients

• 1 lb mahi mahi
• 1/4 oz lemon juice (2 tsp)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsps extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 dash pepper

Directions

1. Cut Mahi Mahi into 4 pieces.
2. Brush both sides of fish with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then rub garlic on fish.
3. To grill, arrange fish on a grill rack or grill basket sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.
4. Grill over medium-hot coals (or medium-high on gas) for 4-6 minutes per 1/2" thickness or until fish flakes easily. If fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn halfway through.
5. To broil, arrange fish on broiler pan sprayed with cooking oil. Broil 4" from heat, same amount of time as grilling.
6. Note: based on recipe from the South Beach Cookbook.
