This Greek-style mahi mahi offers a fresh and vibrant way to enjoy meaty white fish. The fillets are topped with a creamy blend of salty feta, fresh mint, and dill before being grilled until perfectly tender. Combined with the acidity of quick-marinated tomatoes, it creates a Mediterranean-inspired dish that is both light and satisfying for a midweek meal.
As a high-protein option, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a nutritious dinner that does not compromise on flavour.

Serve it alongside some toasted orzo or a crisp green salad for a complete, heart-healthy feast that brings a taste of the sunshine to your kitchen.
