Roasted Mahi Mahi with Radish and Lemon Butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and thyme.

   Tip: Drying the fish ensures better browning and a more delicate texture.

2. 2

   Toss halved radishes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper on a large baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and roast for 12-15 minutes until golden and tender.

   Tip: Stir radishes halfway through cooking for even caramelization.

3. 3

   Push roasted radishes to the sides of the baking sheet. Place mahi mahi fillets in the center and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.

   Tip: Ensure fillets have space around them for proper heat circulation.

4. 4

   Return baking sheet to oven and roast for 6-8 minutes until mahi mahi is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

   Tip: Do not overcook as mahi mahi is delicate and can become dry quickly.

5. 5

   While fish cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add lemon juice and lemon zest, whisking gently for 1-2 minutes until combined.

   Tip: Keep heat low to prevent butter from browning.

6. 6

   Transfer mahi mahi and roasted radishes to serving plates. Drizzle warm lemon butter sauce over the fish and radishes.

   Tip: Reserve some sauce to pour on the side of the plate for visual appeal.

7. 7

   Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional lemon zest before serving.

   Tip: Fresh herbs add brightness and elevate the presentation of the dish.
