Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce fillets Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the Mahi Mahi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine unsalted butter, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until well combined and set aside.
Step 5
Place the fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 7
Top each grilled fillet with a dollop of the lemon herb butter while the fish is still hot. Allow the butter to melt over the fish, adding extra flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of heart-healthy sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
