Description
A quick recipe for searing Mahi Mahi fillets until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Mahi Mahi fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels.
- Mix salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the fillets in the hot skillet. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes
- Do not overcook the fish; Mahi Mahi cooks quickly.
- You can substitute butter for olive oil for a richer flavor.
