Ingredients
- 4 pieces mahi mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the mahi mahi fillets with the olive oil and lemon juice mixture to coat them evenly.
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, place the fillets on the grill grates. Grill each side for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 5
While the fish is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chopped parsley to create the sauce.
Step 6
Serve the grilled mahi mahi fillets with a generous drizzle of lemon butter sauce and a wedge of lemon on the side for extra citrus flavor.
