Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Rinse the mahi mahi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of each mahi mahi fillet.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mahi mahi fillets to the skillet in a single layer.
Cook the fillets for 4-5 minutes on one side, until golden brown, then carefully flip them over.
Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the fillets with fresh lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy the mahi mahi with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
