Grilled Margarita Mahi Mahi (Lizzy Original)

Grilled Margarita Mahi Mahi
Recipe by: Miss Lizzy




This recipe was inspired by my Uncle Chet who made the same 'marinade', but
used chicken instead of fish. I topped the fish with HG Fiesta Tropical Fruit Salsa and served it up with Black Beans and simple broccoli with 2% cheese. (A great meal for only 6 WWPP!!)





Ingredients:

* 4 Mahi Mahi fillets, thawed
* Juice of 2 limes
*~1/2 cup chopped cilantro
*1 tsp. chopped garlic


Directions:

1. Place the fillets in a large ziploc bag. Add lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Mix around in bag and then place in the fridge for ONLY 30 minutes. (This is important! The lime marinade can only work for 30 minutes; if you leave it in longer the citric acid will start cooking the fish).

2. Immediately place on grill. (We use The Griddler). Grill about 5 minutes. Check to make sure fish is cooked through and serve immediately!



Like I suggested earlier, you can top this with HG Fiesta Tropical Salsa for an even better tasting dish!


Breakdown:
1 fillet with salsa is about 3 WWPP.
When I calculated the mahi mahi (4 oz.) it came to 2. I add the extra point for the salsa, although on the new plan it would technically be 0.
