Ingredients

  • 4 4oz Mahi Mahi filets
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
Lemon Garlic Sauce
  • 3 tbsp salted butter softened
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon peel grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • kosher salt pinch
  • black pepper pinch

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Pat dry any excess moisture off the fish fillet with paper towels until they are as dry as possible then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. Then, prepare the lemon garlic mixture. In a small saucepan on low heat, combine all of the lemon garlic mixture ingredients and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet on high heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the pan and sear for about 3 minutes on one side then flip. Place the fish in a baking dish and roast for about 4-5 minutes. Pour the lemon garlic mixture over the cooked fish. Serve with extra lemon slices and fresh parsley.
