Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 mahi-mahi fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon sliced (for serving)

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or grill
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  3. Brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of each fillet.
  4. Heat your non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
  5. Place the fillets in the skillet or on the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. Check if the fish flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  7. Once cooked, remove the fillets from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
  8. Plate the mahi-mahi fillets and garnish with lemon slices.

Notes

For an extra touch, marinate the fillets for 30 minutes in the seasoning mixture before cooking for deeper flavor.
