Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce fillets Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the Mahi Mahi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle them evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine unsalted butter, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until well combined and set aside.
Place the fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Top each grilled fillet with a dollop of the lemon herb butter while the fish is still hot. Allow the butter to melt over the fish, adding extra flavor.
Serve immediately with your choice of heart-healthy sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
