Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Dish
- Saucepan
Ingredients
Baked Mahi Mahi
- 8 oz mahi mahi (2 4-ounce fillets)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1 large lemon (½ sliced, ½ squeezed for ½ tablespoon lemon juice)
Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6) and spray a baking dish with non-stick spray or coat it with cooking oil.
- Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry using paper towels and de-bone them if needed. Then, season them all over with salt & pepper.
- Slice the lemon and place 4 lemon slices in a baking dish, then set each fillet over 2 of the slices. Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish fillets.
Butter Sauce
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for about 3 minutes until it takes on a 'nutty' aroma.
- Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Then remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately with lemon butter sauce on the side or drizzled over the cooked fish.
Notes
Oven baked mahi mahi makes a great dinner for 2, but can easily be scaled for the whole family.
