How to Make Sauteed Mahi Mahi

  1. Pat 1 pound of Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Sear the Mahi Mahi for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Reduce heat if browning too quickly.
  4. Remove the Mahi Mahi from the skillet and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  5. Optional: For extra flavor, add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet during the last minute of cooking and toss with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
