Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Drizzle Mahi Mahi fillets with olive oil and brush to coat evenly on both sides.
Step 3
Sprinkle the fillets with lemon zest, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for a few minutes.
Step 4
In a small mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix well until the herbs and lemon juice are fully incorporated into the butter.
Step 5
Wrap the herb butter in plastic wrap, shaping it into a log, and refrigerate briefly to firm up.
Step 6
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
Step 7
Remove the herb butter from the refrigerator. Cut a slice of the chilled butter and place it on top of each grilled Mahi Mahi fillet just before serving, allowing it to melt and add flavor.
Step 8
Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge for an extra citrusy touch.
Step 9
Serve immediately while the fish is hot and enjoy this delicious low sodium meal.
