Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
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, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the fish to marinate for about 10 minutes while the grill is heating.
Step 4
While the fish is marinating, prepare the lemon herb butter. In a separate bowl, combine the softened coconut oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon zest. Mix well until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Grease the grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the marinated Mahi Mahi fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Once the Mahi Mahi is cooked, remove it from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Step 8
Top each fillet with a spoonful of the lemon herb butter, allowing it to melt over the warm fish.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your preferred Paleo sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
