Ingredients
4 Mahi Mahi fillets about 1 ½ pounds
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon raw honey
2 lemons sliced into thin rounds
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small red onion sliced into thin rings
½ cup green olives chopped
Method
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Brush the pan with olive oil and set aside.
- Use a clean paper towel to pat both sides of the fish dry. Run your finger over the fish to check for any bones. Remove as needed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, thyme, and parsley to make a dressing. Set aside.
- Lay the lemon slices in pairs on the baking sheet. Place fish on top of lemon slices, with each fish fillet having 2 slices underneath.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and chili flakes over the fish. Spoon the dressing on top of the mahi. Dot the butter over the fish. Top with the chopped olives and onion.
- Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until the center of the fillet is flaky and cooked thoroughly with an opaque color.
