Citrus-Herb Grilled Wahoo
Citrus-Herb Grilled Wahoo
Florida summers and grilling fish… truly an iconic duo. This Citrus-Herb Grilled Wahoo is a refreshing and tasty recipe that embodies the Sunshine state’s quintessential season!
Wahoo, much like swordfish, is an ideal candidate for grilling. It’s tough skin and steaky texture hold up quite well compared to more delicate alternatives.
The citrus in this recipe adds a refreshing, tangy zest that, in our opinion, carries the wahoo over the finish line and to the podium. Consider some grilled vegetables or potatoes alongside it to complete a hearty meal!

Citrus-Herb Grilled Wahoo
2

minutesIngredients
two 8oz fresh wahoo fillets
2 tbsp olive oil
zest and juice of 1 lemon
zest and juice of 1 lime
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a touch of heat)
salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
Marinate the Wahoo: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, garlic, thyme, parsley, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Place the wahoo fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pour the marinade over them, and ensure they're well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes (no longer to avoid overpowering the fish).
Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the Wahoo: Remove the fillets from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the wahoo tender and moist.
Serve: Plate the grilled wahoo and drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice. Garnish with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
