Preparing divine dorado fish with vegetables is what this post is all about. In the first recipe I’ll tell you about the amazing taste this sauce gives to the mahimahi, and in the second we’ll learn about the basil vinaigrette for the vegetable marinade. The recipe says “grilling” but I prefer the oven, since it’s healthier, so the pics will be a bit different from what they would have been if I had used the grill, but I vouch for the amazing taste!
GRILLED MAHIMAHI
Mahimahi always tastes delicious to me, but with this sauce it is absolutely mouthwatering!

1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper

2. Rub the mahimahi fillets with extra virgin oil. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper.
3. Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
4. Grill mahimahi fillets for 5 minutes on each side, or until opaque
