Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil and season them with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic. Stir well and keep warm without boiling.
Place the fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cooked mahi mahi fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon herb butter over the grilled mahi mahi, ensuring each fillet gets coated evenly.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
