Ingredients
Scale
- For the Mahi Mahi:
- 4 Mahi Mahi fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- For the Mango Lime Butter:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over both sides of the Mahi Mahi fillets.
- Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
- While the fish is grilling, prepare the mango lime butter by combining the diced mango, softened butter, lime juice, lime zest, and honey in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Once the Mahi Mahi is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
- Top each fillet with a generous dollop of mango lime butter before serving.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead by preparing the mango lime butter and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
