For the Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparing the Mahi Mahi

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the mahi mahi fillets.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Place the seasoned mahi mahi fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic cloves to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper into the butter mixture. Simmer for an additional minute, then remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Once the mahi mahi is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on serving plates.

  2. 8

    Drizzle the Sauce

    Generously drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the grilled fish before serving.

  3. 9

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
