Costco Mahi Mahi Cooking Instructions

What's the deal with mahi-mahi?

Mahi-mahi has a firm texture and works well for baking, searing, or grilling. The Monterey Bay Aquarium classifies it as a good choice when considering environmental impact. It's also a moderate mercury fish and is a good source of protein.

How should I shop for it?

Mahi Mahi have gorgeous gold and yellow skin that must be removed before cooking. The flesh should be a pinkish-beige in color. If there are darker spots in your filet those parts may have a bit of a stronger taste but can definitely be eaten or trimmed away.

How do I cook it?

This easy mahi-mahi recipe comes together in 30 minutes or less. After searing the fish for a few minutes per side, make a super simple lemon butter sauce with garlicky. We like to sauté some asparagus too, but adding a vegetable isn't necessary.

I can't find mahi-mahi. Now what?

For a similar firm, meat-like texture, try halibut. Our easy grilled halibut with mango salsa is a winner.

What should I serve with it?

A lean, lemony fish like this would benefit from being served with some extra lemon wedges, a savory roasted green (like asparagus or string beans) and creamy mashed potatoes.
