This recipe for grilled Mahi Mahi to make grilled Mahi Mahi tacos.
Mahi Mahi cooks fast on the grill. Medium High heat is perfect for grilling Mahi Mahi on the grill.
To add some flavor to my grilled Mahi Mahi fish, I use a marinade that consists of:
1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
2 TBS Oil (Olive, Vegetable, or Canola will work)
1 TBS Honey
1/4 tea cayenne pepper
pinch of salt
Whisk these ingredients together in a bowl. Place the Mahi Mahi fish in a zip lock bag and pour the marinade over it and place the bag in the refrigerator for 45min to 1 hour.
After 45 minutes remove the Mahi Mahi fish from the refrigerator and dust each side of the Mahi Mahi with the Blackened seasoning which consists of:
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon cumin
The cook time for Mahi Mahi is fast. And the trick to grilling perfect fish is to have a well-greased cooking surface.
Place the Mahi Mahi fish on the grate and set a timer for 1 ½ minutes, twist the fish a quarter turn. Time it for another 1 ½ minutes then give it a gentle turn to the opposite side. Set the timer for 1 ½ minutes once again. That's when you glaze the grilled fish Mahi Mahi with a Honey Lime Glaze:
2 TBS Lime Juice
2 TBS Olive Oil
1 TBS Rice Wine Vinegar
1 TBS Honey
Salt and Pepper
Add the lime juice, vinegar, and honey to a bowl. While whisking slowly add the olive oil. Throw in a pinch of salt and pepper to balance the flavor.
After three more minutes the Mahi is ready to come off the grill and enjoy your grilled Mahi Mahi fish tacos.

[@bigtomsvan4817]

Great recipe! Thanks Malcom. I cooked it this way 3 years ago and will be camping at the beach this summer and will repeat it. The greatest thing about this food is sharing it.

[@johngonzales2211]

[@BrianWilliams-wg3tm]

I have cooked this with grilled pineapple and mango salsa and it is excellent!!! I’ve also made it as mahi tacos. If you follow the instructions I promise your tastebuds will thank you!!!! Thank you very much Malcolm for the recipes, you can make me feel like I can actually cook something better than a restaurant!!!

[@digbick123]

Looks so good. Love the idea of a glaze on fish. I’m not too familiar with grilling mahi mahi so this video helped a ton. Thank you!

[@natashacotton16]

Made this for the hubby and I lastnight over a kale salad, so tasty! Thank you!

[@stevemitchell3601]

Followed this recipe and the fish tacos were amazing! Malcom Reed, you have the best BBQ channel on KZbin.

[@pgperezlife32]

The sizzle of the century when you put it down in that grill!

[@SwaybackJack]

This literally works for all the common fish fillets: cod, sea bass; etc. Pellet grills, too. I set to 350 on my Recteq 590 and do everything else Malcolm does and the fish is always perfect in tacos or over rice.

[@ESLdiana007]

This is awesome! You are one of the few people I now know that actually use a charcoal grill like me. That’s the only way to grill as far as I’m concerned😊

[@MrKevin4300]

[@kylecollins6835]

[@beno2rasho]

[@evanclark6547]

Thats a nice spatula you got there. I need one of those.

[@Forevertrue]

[@Marcos_reyna]

[@tonystokes1119]

When you were making thr glaze and when added the honey i was like he's gonna need more then that,and you added more😂 looks really good👍👍

[@edzukation]

Excellent job, sir.

[@strpped379]

you are THE MAN...

[@YasserYasser-ih6yz]

Wow .. fantastic. .. easy

[@randleqgod]

This man can cook. 💯

[@crisworkizer1523]

Malcom,awesome job on the Fish Tacos.just made some shrimp tacos,but really gotta try the Mahi Mahi.how would you compare the Grill Grates vs. the Craycort cast iron grill ?? I have the Craycort.Thanks ,Cris

[@MANFOODinc]

Looks great! Thx for sharing.

[@louisgrant3170]

Just made this. Can confirm it tastes amazing. Thickness of the fish may require twice the amount of time on a regular grill, and you may want to double up on your glaze and possibly reduce the amount of cumin to less than a quarter teaspoon. 9.5/10.

[@joshuareyes4640]

4:30 best sound ever made

[@johnbruenn8755]

I am SO doing this! My mouth is totally watering…. 😳😋

[@tonycrossbee]

Ill have to try that. Thank you sir.

[@braydenjoyce97]

Good vid!

[@dominic4568]

This was really good. Thanks bro! ❤

[@smokinPaperplanes]

If you were to do this on a pellet grill(I have pitboss lockart) what temp and how long? They look awesome, picking some up tomorrow!

[@AdrenalineJunkieXL]

Ugh!! Malcom your Killin me lol I'm gonna have to try this it was the avocado lime and that sauce that did it for me.

[@recognize8971]

Damn bro those look amazing. Thanks for the recipe big dog!

[@kim0942]

Great way to fix Mahi mahi. Will be trying tomorrow. Where can I find that slotted open ended spatula you use.

[@bherber]

Nice job

[@LarsMueller-CATSTYLE]

Wonderful.

[@kgonzales321]

That looks good. Healthy too..

[@kingsleyzissou5881]

Thanks for the video man.

[@kimberlycorbin4854]

Nice recipe I like it.

[@SteveMe21685]

Great recipe...Just curious, how do you think it would come out if i smoked rather than grilled?? If so, what temp/time would you recommend?

[@papercutplayer4011]

Just made this tonight. Very tasty

[@MrFivehole77]

Hey Malcom I know this is an old video but brother I love all of your videos but if you haven’t reeled in a Mahi-mahi you are truly missing out on a great experience they are such a thrill to catch.

[@loxleymedia4490]

This recipe was great and left the Mahi really tinder. Malcom, how can I cut down on the lime taste just a bit?

[@TheTroutDoc]

good video thanks for sharing

[@indonesiaoutdoor]

Delicious 😋

[@ed0985587]

Nice! Going to give this a shot for dinner tonight (non taco)

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

Yum...

[@ocmountainbiking9497]

You know wassup with that sauce haha that’s my sisters special sauce ! Looked delicious 👍🏽

[@jimquantic]

Looks good and you are right: the lime will cook it--if you wait a bit longer that "cooking" makes caviche which people like too

[@mariloumyrick6660]

Jmichael Isbell I'd love a great recipe for that!

[@the99thtimelord16]

Full beard Malcom is the purest pleasure.

[@teaguevanburen8472]

Where in the world did you get that spatula???

[@collinsstuff7987]

I love taco anything

[@mauimarcus]

Yummm

[@topspinaurelius]

making this in 2 hours, I trust this man with my BBQ over any little chicks wearing tight fit clothing giving out cooking advice over the internet!

[@jaybird4812]

What do you think about a fish competition for BBQ competition, just to add another level to the BBQ.... I think this would be an awesome comp for those that are not the standard BBQ eaters....and add another challenge to competition BBQ......

[@robm2324]

Whats the recipe to make those pickled red onions? Also did the mixed cabbage come like that or did you mix it together yourself, if so please share. I absolutely love fish tacos. Thanks for the recipe and the video.

[@howtobbqright]

Rob M I bought the cabbage mix just like that - it came in a salad bag. The pickled onions are: 1 red onion thinly sliced3/4 cup Cider Vinegar3 Tabelspoon SugarPinch SaltPinch Ground Black PepperPinch Crushed Red PepperBring Vinegar, Sugar, and seasonings to boil. Add red onion and cook for 30 seconds.Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place in jar and refrigerate for up to a month.
