Ingredients

• 4 pieces mahi mahi fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the mahi mahi fillets with the olive oil and lemon juice mixture to coat them evenly.

Step 4

Once the grill is hot, place the fillets on the grill grates. Grill each side for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chopped parsley to create the sauce.

Step 6

Serve the grilled mahi mahi fillets with a generous drizzle of lemon butter sauce and a wedge of lemon on the side for extra citrus flavor.
