Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces mahi mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lemon herb butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh dill, and lemon zest. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets lightly with olive oil.
Season the fillets on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Once the grill is hot, place the mahi mahi fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the fish from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Immediately spoon the prepared lemon herb butter over the top of each fillet, allowing it to melt and flavor the fish.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or lemon slices if desired, and serve warm.
