Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Drizzle Mahi Mahi fillets with olive oil and brush to coat evenly on both sides.
Sprinkle the fillets with lemon zest, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for a few minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix well until the herbs and lemon juice are fully incorporated into the butter.
Wrap the herb butter in plastic wrap, shaping it into a log, and refrigerate briefly to firm up.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
Remove the herb butter from the refrigerator. Cut a slice of the chilled butter and place it on top of each grilled Mahi Mahi fillet just before serving, allowing it to melt and add flavor.
Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge for an extra citrusy touch.
Serve immediately while the fish is hot and enjoy this delicious low sodium meal.
