Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces mahi mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the mahi mahi fillets with the olive oil and lemon juice mixture to coat them evenly.
Once the grill is hot, place the fillets on the grill grates. Grill each side for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chopped parsley to create the sauce.
Serve the grilled mahi mahi fillets with a generous drizzle of lemon butter sauce and a wedge of lemon on the side for extra citrus flavor.
