Cedar Plank Grilled Pinot Grigio Mahi Mahi W/ Chili Lime Rub
- 6 mahi mahi fillets
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 large cedar plank
- pinot grigio wine
- chili, lime spice (Gourmet Collection)
- thyme
- rosemary
- salt
- olive oil
- 1: Take your cedar plank and completely submerge it in pinot grigio for at least 5hrs.
- make sure your plank is big enough for all the fillets.
- 2: Rinse and pat dry your (fully thawed) Mahi Mahi fillets so they are dry and place on a large platter (try to buy the fillets without the skin / even frozen is ok) .
- 3: Rub both sides with olive oil and generously rub the fillets with your chili lime spice and sprinkle some fresh rosemary/thyme on top .
- Cover and place in the fridge for a few hours before cooking.
- 4: Once you are ready to cook , take your plank and dry the side you are going to cook on .
- Baste that side with olive oil and sprinkle that side with salt.
- 5: Preheat your grill to an even medium heat .
- Place all the fillets on the plank and add a slice of lemon to each fillet .
- 6: Grill them for at least 30 minutes and try not to open the grill to maintain a consistant temperature You will see the tops flake and the lemons brown just a bit when they are done.
- If there is a flare up try to put it out and close the lid as soon as you can to keep in the smoke and temp right.
- Smoke will be billowing out of your grille but thats what the cedar plank is for , but keep an eye out for flare ups.
- If you soak the planks for 5+ hours you should have no problems if you maintain the steady medium heat.
- 7: Once the fillets are browned and flakey , take the whole plank off and serve as is with the plank as a serving tray .
- (keep a towel or trivet under for the heat).
- 8: I usually serve this with some rice and asparagus.
- Trust me when I say you will get rave reviews.
- Just dont over cook the fillets.
- Check them when its about 30 minutes into cooking and peek every 5-10 minutes thereafter .
