Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 each Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 each Lemon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
Rinse the mahi mahi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Brush the fillets with olive oil, ensuring both sides are lightly coated.
Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the seasoned fish. Reserve the lemon halves.
For the lemon herb butter, finely chop the fresh parsley, dill, and chives and mix them with the unsalted butter in a small bowl. Set aside.
Place the mahi mahi fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until grill marks appear and the fish releases easily from the grate.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flaky.
Remove the mahi mahi from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Immediately top each fillet with a dollop of the lemon herb butter, allowing it to melt over the hot fish.
Garnish with the reserved lemon halves, either by placing them on the platter or by squeezing their juice over the fish just before serving.
Serve the grilled mahi mahi hot, with a side of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
