Doneness
The flesh turns opaque and flakes with gentle pressure at 145 °F (63 °C). A translucent center needs more time; dry, tough fish has gone too far.
Oil & seasoning
Brush with oil and a squeeze of lemon so the lean fish stays moist.
Season with: salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon, paprika.
Watch out for
- Mahi-mahi is lean and overcooks fast — pull it right at 145 °F.
- Pat dry and oil lightly so it browns instead of steaming.
- Cook in a single layer with space between fillets.
- Flip gently with a spatula so the fillet stays whole.
