Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 fillets Mahi Mahi Tender, flaky fish
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil Adds richness and moisture

- 2 cloves Garlic Minced for aromatic flavor
- 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the flavors
- 1 teaspoon Pepper Adds a hint of spice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika For color and mild heat
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Place the mahi mahi fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the marinade mixture generously over the fillets.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes.
- Check for doneness; the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- If needed, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for a golden top.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
- Garnish with additional lemon juice or herbs if desired.

Notes
Ensure the fish is fresh for optimal flavor and texture. Marinate the mahi mahi for 30 minutes for a deeper flavor. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Pair with a light salad or vegetable sides for a well-rounded meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
