“This is one of my family's favorite fish recipes for southern cooking. Serve over rice. Steamed vegetables go great with this dish.” - by Becca

Ingredients

2 (4 ounce) fillets mahi mahi
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup salted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 drops Louisiana-style hot sauce, or to taste
1 roma tomato, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 green onion, chopped

Hide Checklist

Directions

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Rub the mahi mahi fillets with the olive oil and lay into a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
While the mahi mahi bakes, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the garlic, lemon juice, and hot sauce into the melted butter; simmer together for 1 minute. Add the tomato and green onion to the butter mixture; cook and stir until hot. Spoon over the baked fish to serve.

"This fish was excellent! I did make a few changes though. I put a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on the fish and salt and pepper before baking it. I turned the broiler on for about 2 minutes ..." See moreafter the 20 minutes was up. I used half the butter and did not add tomato to the sauce. Instead, I added extra lemon juice and fresh parsley. This recipe is certainly a keeper!!!"

"This is certainly a wonderful dish, easy to prepare, little cleanup, and not overly filling. Rice as a side dish and a green salad or coleslaw add just enough to complete the meal. I purchase my mah..." See morei-mahi frozen at Costco. Thanks for sharing this recipe."
