Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 4 pieces of 6 oz Mahi-Mahi fillets on a lined baking sheet and brush with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 2: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp ground cumin, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Stir in 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Simmer for 4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Remove sauce from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro. Spoon the citrus mojo sauce generously over the baked Mahi-Mahi fillets and serve immediately.
