Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the fish to marinate for about 10 minutes while the grill is heating.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the lemon herb butter. In a separate bowl, combine the softened coconut oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon zest. Mix well until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Grease the grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated Mahi Mahi fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once the Mahi Mahi is cooked, remove it from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Top each fillet with a spoonful of the lemon herb butter, allowing it to melt over the warm fish.
Serve immediately with your preferred Paleo sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
