Easy Grilled Mahi Mahi features firm, flaky fillets coated in a smoky-spiced rub with hints of cumin, paprika, and a touch of cayenne. Grilled hot for a lightly charred exterior and finished with bright lemon, it’s vibrant and savory without being heavy. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a fresh centerpiece for summer cookouts.
