- When the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork, they are ready to be plated. Gently remove them from the grill and place on a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, because let’s be honest, they just make everything look fancy and presentable. Your Mahi Mahi is now dressed to impress!
