Step 4
Place the reclosable bag with its contents in the refrigerator and let it marinate for two to four hours.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Take the fillets out of the bag and place in a baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the fish fillets.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until opaque and flaky.
Tip
For a complete healthy meal, serve the baked Mahi Mahi with sauteed green beans and a baked potato.
If the fillets you are baking still have their skin on, place them skin-side down on a sheet of aluminum foil in the baking dish. When baked, insert a spatula between the fillet and the skin thus removing the fillet while the skin remains stuck to the aluminum foil.
Warning
Overcooking the fish will cause it to dry.
