Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 whole (cut into wedges) Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Lightly dredge the fillets in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, until a golden crust forms.
Flip the fillets gently and reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan.
Cook the fillets for another 3-4 minutes, basting with the melted butter, until they are cooked through and opaque in the center.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Let them rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish the sauteed Mahi Mahi with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
