    Thank you for this! I have never had Mahi Mahi, but I hear it is really good. I stopped eating Tilapia (I only like milder fish) because it often tasted bad, I am sure from being farmed and eating each other’s excrement. I just checked my store and they have wild-caught Mahi Mahi, so I’m going to get some to try this recipe! Love my air fryer but need to learn more to fix in it.
