Pan-Fried Mahi-Mahi Steaks

I call this pan-fried mahi-mahi dish with wild rice and sauteed spinach a “Before The 4th of July” meal. Meaning, before we binge on hotdogs, burgers, steaks, etc, I decided to cook seafood for tonight’s dinner.

The last time I cooked mahi-mahi, I gave in to my Husband’s request of baking the fish. This time around, I decided to just pan-fry the mahi-mahi steaks. I marinated it in a simple olive oil based marinade first of course.

Combine the olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, lime juice, dried parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Which everything together. Pour over the mahi-mahi steaks. Coat each sides of the fish. Marinate for 10-15 minutes or so.
