I love grilled mahi-mahi, it’s the fish so nice they named it twice!
I have been trying to eat healthier, more fish, more veggies, less refined products. Now that’s probably the hardest battle to win, everything has refined products, additives and things I can’t pronounce! This is why we must read labels, and do our best to eliminate junk foods from our diet.
And my grilled mahi-mahi certainly made a delicious healthy meal!
Mahi by itself can be a little lacking in the taste department and it does need something to perk it up. I sauteed a little garlic in olive oil with a few grape tomatoes split, then added in my jumbo lump and tossed it gently so it wouldn’t break up.
The dish could have used a little more sauce, or even dare I say a little butter to finish it off, but this was a healthy meal, so no butter was added. The asparagus were the perfect accompaniment to the flavors of the Mahi and crabmeat, and our splurge for the week was well worth it.
Wouldn’t you love to sit down to my Grilled Mahi-Mahi with crabmeat?

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Crab Meat Scampi
Ingredients
- 12 oz Mahi-Mahi fillets 2 – 6 ounce fillets
- 6 oz fresh crab meat
- extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- black pepper
- 8 grape tomatoes split in half
- 1 clove garlic small dice
Instructions
- Start by preparing the mahi-mahi fillets, rub them down with olive oil and sprinkle a liberal amount of sea salt and black pepper on the fillets. Allow the fillets to warm up slightly before grilling.
- Place fillets on a very hot grill and allow to remain in place for 4-5 minutes, you will get good grill marks this way. Gently turn over the fillets and allow to cook on the other side for another 4-5 minutes
- (The fish should feel firm to the touch, not spongy.)
- While the Mahi is cooking add olive oil to a hot saute pan and then add the garlic and grape tomato halves. Allow to saute for 1-2 minutes, do not let the garlic burn!
- Add in the crab meat and gently toss in the mixture. Remove from the heat until Mahi is finished.
- Remove the Mahi from the grill and top with the sauteed crab meat, serve immediately with your favorite side dish and a squeeze of lemon.

An evil combination to be sure… crab makes anything better… and I think grilling asparagus concentrates the flavor brilliantly!
