My Baked mahi mahi with lemon butter is the perfect choice for a light dinner. Mahi mahi is a mild white fish that is slightly sweet. It becomes perfectly tender and flaky after just 15 minutes in the oven. Baked mahi mahi makes a great dinner for 2, but you can easily make it for the whole family!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz mahi mahi ((2 4-ounce fielts))
  • salt & pepper ((to taste))
  • 1 large lemon ((½ sliced, ½ squeezed for ½ tbsp lemon juice to make the sauce))
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley ((chopped))
  • 1 tsp garlic ((minced))

Directions

  1. 1

    To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and spray a baking dish with non-stick spray or coat it with cooking oil.

  2. 2

    Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry using paper towels and de-bone them if needed (*see note). Then season them all over with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place 4 lemon slices in a baking dish and set each fillet over 2 of the slices. Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish fillets.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, heat the butter and allow it to melt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for about 3 minutes until it takes on a ‘nutty’ aroma.

  5. 5

    Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Then remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with lemon butter sauce on the side or drizzled over the cooked fish.
