Ingredients
  

Fish and Marinade
  • 2 fillets Mahi Mahi fillets (about 6 ounces each) Fresh fillets recommended for best taste.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed) For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse the Mahi Mahi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the fillets in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cooking

  2. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil if desired.

Notes
