Marinate the Mahi Mahi:
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lime juice, black pepper, and garlic salt.
- Dip each mahi mahi fillet into the olive oil mixture, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.

Prepare the Creamy Red Wine Sauce:
- After 45 minutes of marinating, in a saucepan, combine red wine, garlic powder, soy sauce, and optionally, soup.
- Mix the ingredients well and allow the sauce to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Grill the Mahi Mahi:
- While the sauce is simmering, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the marinated mahi mahi fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning only once, until the fish is cooked through and has grill marks.
-
Serve:
- To serve, place each grilled mahi mahi fillet atop a bed of wild rice.
- Generously spoon the creamy red wine sauce over the grilled fish.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
