- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 whole (cut into wedges) Lemon

Directions
Step 1
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Lightly dredge the fillets in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, until a golden crust forms.
Step 7
Flip the fillets gently and reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan.
Step 8
Cook the fillets for another 3-4 minutes, basting with the melted butter, until they are cooked through and opaque in the center.
Step 9
Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Let them rest for 2 minutes.

Garnish the sauteed Mahi Mahi with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
