Description
This Easy Italian Mahi Mahi Recipe with Lemon Butter Sauce is made with mahi mahi, butter, garlic, white wine, lemon, capers, and parsley.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Pound of Mahi Mahi
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup of white wine (use broth to substitute)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 sliced lemon
- 1 (3 oz) bottle of capers with the juice
- 1/4 cup of chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper each
Instructions
- Please start by patting the mahi mahi dry on a plate with paper towels. You want to get rid of excess moisture so the fish doesn’t release water.
- In a large skillet, start by cooking the mahi mahi with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness. Remove the mahi mahi and set on a plate.
- In a large skillet, add the butter and wait until it melts. Place lemon slices on the pan, 1 minute on each side until the lemon caramelizes. With tongs, remove the lemon and place on an other separate plate. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add the whole bottle of capers with the juice and add the mahi mahi back in the large pan. Cook for another 3 minutes, spooning sauce over fish. Remove from the pan and add salt and pepper as desired.
- Garnish with parsley.
Notes
- You can substitute the wine with broth
