1. Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Preheat grill to medium-high or prepare medium-hot fire.
2. Combine lemon zest and juice, oil, oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow bowl. Add mahi mahi and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Cookbook. This is what I call a taste of the Mediterranean fresh off the grill. The combination of olive oil, garlic, lemon and herbs on fish is heavenly delicious. The fish is so succulent, opaque, and juicy it melts in your mouth. You can use any white fish in this recipe and the dish will still be delicious. Don't forget to serve a side of grilled vegetables alongside this fish for a filling meal.
