This incredibly easy recipe was my first-ever fish dish, and it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Three non-fish eaters became converts after trying this unbelievably flaky and flavorful baked mahi mahi (or use chicken!). The simple lemon-herb breadcrumb topping perfectly complements the tender fish, and it all comes together in under 25 minutes. Serve with fluffy couscous and your favorite fresh vegetables for a complete and healthy meal.

How to Make Annie's Melt In Your Mouth Mahi Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Dip each fish fillet (or chicken breast) into the olive oil mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Arrange the coated fillets in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  6. Top each fillet with 2-3 tablespoons of butter.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Chicken will require slightly longer cooking time, about 20-25 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately with couscous and fresh vegetables.
