Greek-Style Mahi Mahi

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. The combination of fresh herbs and citrus cuts through the richness of the feta topping beautifully. 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.
