Roasted Mahi Mahi with Daikon

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss daikon wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer.

   Tip: Cut daikon into uniform sizes so they roast evenly.

2. 2

   Roast daikon for 12 minutes until they begin to soften and develop light golden edges.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, pat mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

   Tip: Dry fish ensures better browning and prevents sticking.

4. 4

   Remove daikon from oven and push to the sides of its sheet. Add the mahi mahi sheet to the oven alongside the daikon and bake both for 12-15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

5. 5

   While fish and daikon roast, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

6. 6

   Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped thyme, parsley, and red pepper flakes into the butter mixture. Cook for 1 minute more and remove from heat.

   Tip: Don't let the butter brown; keep the heat low for a delicate sauce.

7. 7

   Transfer roasted mahi mahi fillets and daikon to serving plates, arranging them attractively.

8. 8

   Drizzle the warm herb-lemon butter sauce over the fish and daikon. Serve immediately while hot.

   Tip: Serve with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
