I love mahi mahi because it is a mild fish, and my kids love it. We only buy sustainably raised seafood, and my local Safeway Grocery Store is the best place to find it.

Open Nature® Responsible Choice™ Seafood is wild-caught, and you can feel good knowing all their seafood products are caught in ways that preserve and safeguard future supplies to keep the ecosystem thriving.

We have three Safeway stores nearby. They all carry a wide variety of Open Nature seafood, including mahi mahi, salmon, shrimp, halibut, bay scallops, Alaska cod, swordfish steaks, and yellowfin tuna.

Are you ready to get cooking? You can also change it up by adding some of this Nut Free Pesto to the foil packet. Let's start with the ingredients.

Ingredient Notes:

• Mahi Mahi
• Small potatoes
• Asparagus
• Lime
• Zatarain's Cajun Seasoning or Old Bay Seasoning
• Salt, pepper, olive oil

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

Step 1: Wash mini potatoes and slice them in half. Microwave them for 5-7 minutes in a microwave-safe bowl. (Microwave them for 7 minutes if they are on the large side.) This will soften them enough to grill.

Step 2: Preheat your grill to 400º F.

Step 3: Take a big piece of foil. Add your raw mahi mahi, potatoes, and asparagus. Sprinkle the fish and vegetables with either Zatarain's Cajun seasoning or Old Bay Seafood Seasoning. Drizzle with olive oil.

Step 4: Fold up the foil to close the packets. Leave a small section open so the steam can vent out.

Step 5: Grill with the grill cover closed for 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and enjoy hot.

Oven Baking Directions:

To make these Mahi Mahi Foil Packets baked in the oven, preheat the oven to 375º F.

• Prepare the potatoes in the microwave as listed above.
• Place the Mahi Mahi in the foil packet with the potatoes and asparagus.
• Season the fish the same as directed above.
• Bake the fish packets for 15 minutes.
• Serve hot.
