Grilled Mahi with Tomato and Olive Salad
Mahi Mahi, tomatoes, olives, and lemons can all contribute to a healthy and nutritious meal.
Mahi Mahi is a low-fat, high-protein fish that can support muscle growth and repair.
It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. Mahi Mahi is a good source of vitamins B-12 and B-6, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like lycopene, which may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including certain cancers. Olives are a good source of monounsaturated fats, which can promote heart health and help manage cholesterol levels.
Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is crucial for immune function, collagen synthesis, and iron absorption.
