Mahi Mahi Recipe - How to Cook Mahi Mahi
Now, let’s get into preparing mahi mahi fish. Here are the main ingredients for your Licious Mahi Mahi Fry Cut recipe.
Instructions
  1. Once you have the ingredients, it’s time to start cooking your Mahi mahi fry cut, drenched in buttery goodness and infused with herbs. Here’s how!
  2. Cut the lemon into halves. Juice one half and thinly slice the other.
  3. Make sure your mahi mahi fish is dry (pat it dry with a paper towel). Add your seasoning: a teaspoon of salt and some pepper.
  4. Heat up your olive oil in a pan or skillet on medium flame. Once the oil starts to smoke, gently place the mahi mahi in the pan, and sear the first side until it s cooked halfway (for about four minutes). Turn the fillet around and continue searing the fish until the flesh begins to flake, for two-three minutes more. Set your fish aside once done.
  5. In the same pan, add half the garlic and half the lemon juice on medium-low heat. Further, reduce the heat and add the remaining garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix up the sauce in the pan with the brown bits at the bottom.
  6. Add the sliced lemons and butter into the pan. Stir until melted.
  7. Take the pan off the flame and stir in the parsley. Taste to see if the sauce needs any more salt or pepper. Pour over your mahi mahi fish and serve hot.
