This simple recipe highlights the firm texture and delicate flavor of wahoo, a delicious, lean fish. Wahoo is a great source of lean protein and can be prepared quickly on the grill.
IngredientsPat the wahoo fillets completely dry with paper towels.
If using the simple preparation, brush both sides of the fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
If using the marinade, whisk the marinade ingredients together in a shallow dish. Add the wahoo fillets and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not marinate for too long, as the lemon juice can "cook" the fish.
Step 2: Prepare the GrillPreheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates thoroughly and brush with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Grill the FishPlace the wahoo fillets on the preheated grill.
Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Avoid moving the fish during the first few minutes of grilling to allow for good grill marks to form.
Step 4: ServeCarefully remove the grilled wahoo from the grill and transfer to serving plates.
Garnish each fillet with a wedge of fresh lemon and serve immediately.
Grilled wahoo pairs well with a light salad or grilled vegetables.
