Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 1 pound Mahi Mahi fillets
Seasoning and Topping
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional for heat

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Arrange the lemon slices on the baking sheet as a fragrant bed for the fish.
- Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on top of the lemons and generously brush both sides with the melted butter.
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, thyme, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Sprinkle this aromatic blend evenly over the fish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque.
- For an extra touch, broil the fish for an additional 2 minutes at the end to develop a light, crispy top.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color.
