Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces mahi mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Zest the lemon to obtain 1 teaspoon of zest. Cut the lemon in half and juice both halves, saving 1 tablespoon of juice.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir well to combine, and set aside.
Place the mahi mahi fillets on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Immediately spoon the lemon herb butter over the hot fillets, allowing the butter to melt over the fish.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Accompany with a fresh Mediterranean salad or grilled vegetables.
