  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season Mahi Mahi: Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat Skillet: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. Cook Mahi Mahi: Add the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

  4. Prepare Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  5. Deglaze and Add Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  6. Incorporate Butter: Gradually whisk in the remaining butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Stir in the lemon zest.

  7. Combine and Serve: Return the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the lemon garlic sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped parsley.

  8. Serve: Plate the Mahi Mahi fillets and drizzle with extra sauce. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy your flavorful Mahi Mahi with Lemon Garlic Sauce!
