Ingredients
- 4 mahi mahi fillets about 1½ lbs total, 6 oz each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning or garlic lemon pepper blend
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 2 lemons thinly sliced
Instructions
- Pat the mahi mahi fillets very dry with paper towels. Drizzle or brush with olive oil to coat all sides.
- Season the fillets generously on all sides with the lemon pepper seasoning and a little kosher salt.
- Line a foil pan with a single layer of lemon slices.
- Place the seasoned fillets on top of the lemon slices, spaced slightly apart.
- Preheat the smoker to 225°F. Use a mild wood like alder, apple, or cherry.
- Place the pan in the smoker and smoke for 1 to 1.5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 137–140°F and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Rest for 2–3 minutes, then serve warm with fresh lemon.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 275°F oven, covered, for about 10 minutes. Internal temp should reach 137–140°F — it will rise a few degrees as it rests. Don't overcook, as mahi mahi is very lean.
