Ingredients:

  • 4 (6-ounce/170g) mahi-mahi fillets, skin off
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced (reserve half the lemon for squeezing after baking)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (4g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (2g) fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2g) sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease the baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place mahi-mahi fillets in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the lemon-herb marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Distribute the butter pieces evenly over the top of the fish fillets.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  6. Squeeze the reserved lemon half over the baked mahi-mahi before serving.
