Grilled Lemon Pepper Mahi Mahi

When it comes to fish and seafood, I live in a deeply divided house. I absolutely love it, like seriously love it. After growing up in a New England home where we ate fish and seafood all the time, its one of my favorite things. There are even stories of me fighting my father for the last sardine when I was three years old. Then there is my husband. Just the smell of fish makes his stomach turn. And after trying countless times to bring him to my side, I still can't even get him to take the smallest bite.

Unfortunately this has led to me cooking and eating seafood much less often than I would like since I usually shy away from preparing two dinners. However lately I have been cooking tons of food on the grill, which is actually the perfect vehicle for preparing two meals without too much clean up. A piece of steak or chicken for him and a piece of fish for me. I don't know why it took me so long to realize this, but I am so happy have more fish in my life.

And since I am eating more fish, I have been reaching out beyond my normal choices and experimenting with cooking different types of fish at home, like this mahi mahi. Mahi mahi is a firm white fish that has a bit of a stronger flavor than a traditional white fish. It's meaty and takes on flavors and marinades really well. For this preparation, I wanted to taste the fish, so I quickly marinated it in lemon, butter, garlic, thyme, and lots of black for pepper for a simple, flavor packed dish. It's easy, healthy, and in case you live in a house divided like me, also works great for chicken.
