Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 mahi mahi fillets about 6 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Chopped fresh parsley optional garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet or broiler pan
  • Aluminum foil or parchment paper
  • Small bowl (for marinade)
  • Whisk or fork
  • Basting brush (optional)
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Preheat the broiler: Set your oven’s broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Marinate the fish: Pat mahi mahi fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the marinade on both sides.
  4. Broil the mahi mahi: Broil for 5–7 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is golden around the edges.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra zest, add a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes to the marinade.
This recipe works well with other firm white fish like cod or halibut.
Try serving it with rice pilaf, garlic green beans, or mango avocado salsa.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or low oven for best texture.
Prefer a baked mahi mahi recipe? You can bake this at 400°F for 12–15 minutes instead.
