We love seafood so I always make sure that there’s a seafood dish or two on the menu every week. That said, I always search the world wide web for new seafood recipes to try.
I was browsing for healthy seafood recipes in particular one day and came across this Garlicky Lemon Mahi-Mahi recipe. I can’t remember exactly if I’d already had mahi-mahi before, but the name does sound familiar. And since the recipe sounds delicious not to mention, it has one of my favorites, the asparagus in it, I decided to add it to the menu last week
But I made a little twist to the recipe. I don’t like spicy food at all so I skipped adding the red pepper flakes.
And here’s what I came up with.
Ingredients:
- 3 mahi-mahi fillets
- 1 lb. asparagus
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp. parsley
- Juice of 1 lemon
Directions:
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp. of butter then add 1 tbsp. of olive oil.
- Add mahi-mahi and season with salt and pepper. Cook 4-5 minutes or until golden. Set aside.
- Add 1 tbsp. olive oil to the same skillet and add asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and cook until tender. Set aside.
- Melt 2 tbsp. butter to the same skillet. Add garlic and cook until golden brown. Then add lemon juice and parsley.
- Add the mahi-mahi and asparagus and spoon over sauce.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
It is really super easy to make and so good. Not to forget the fact that it is healthy.
We had this served over rice. Both me and my son always have steamed rice in our meals all the time. For the hubs, only sometimes. He has mashed potatoes instead of rice sometimes.
Have you had mahi-mahi before? If you haven’t tried it yet and you love seafood, you should give it a try. It’s really delish!
Happy Foodie Friday y’all and enjoy your weekend!
We would enjoy the fish fillets. Love fixing fish in different ways. Plus so good and healthy
I have never tried to make mahi mahi at home – but I have had it out before. It is great in fish tacos I know. I make shrimp all the time, so I should try this to spice things up
I have not had mahi mahi in many years but this looks so good and I love asparagus. I will use these ideas for a meal for my family soon.
OK now this sounds like it would be absolutely delicious – asparagus seems like it would definitely be the perfect side for it as well.
This would be such a great dinner. I can see my kids loving it. They enjoy their fish.
That looks so good. I am a big fan of asparagus and really like it on my plate! 🙂 The mahimahi looks good, too!
I’m always eating salmon or tilapia. I would love to try something a little different and the way you prepared this mahi-mahi looks delicious!
I definitely need to make this for my family. We love fish and asparagus! Yum!
I love mahi mahi. It’s one of my favorite fish to work with because of its light flavor!
I love Mahi Mahi and Asparagus . I will definitely love this dish! It looks so inviting!
This dish is perfect this Easter. I wonder if we have mahi mahi here though.
Mahi Mahi is one of my favorite types of fish to eat. I’ll have to give this recipe a try.
I love fish, Mahi Mahi is one of my favorite types of fist. I always cook Mahi Mahi and serve with tangy sauce, like salsa.
I don’t cook much fish at home but this Mahi Mahi looks amazing! I also love that you paired it with asparagus! YUM!
I never have any idea on how to prepare fish. This whole recipe looks so good! I really love a lemon garlic combo.
I have never tried making mahi hahi. My kiddos love salmon… I wonder if they would be willing to try this. Love that you paired it with asparagus. That is another fav at our house.
This looks like such a yummy recipe! I love fish and asparagus.
