How to Make Mahi Mahi With Teriyaki Sauce Marinade

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the melted butter.
Sauté the garlic until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute.
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in ½ cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds. Mix well.
Place the mahi mahi fillets (about 1 pound) in a shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki mixture over the fish, ensuring it's fully coated.
Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the marinated mahi mahi fillets to the skillet.
Sauté the fish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with the marinade.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your taste of Hawaii!
