Mahi Mahi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mahi Mahi

Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2

Sear the Fish

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Mahi Mahi fillets and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

3

Make the Lemon Broth

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the vegetable broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.

4

Finish the Dish

Return the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the lemon broth over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
