How to Make Tomato Basil Mahi Mahi

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place a piece of parchment paper (approximately 12x12 inches) on a baking sheet.
  3. Place a 4-6 oz mahi-mahi fillet in the center of the parchment paper.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon paprika over the fish.
  5. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the fish.
  6. Spread 1 teaspoon minced garlic over the fish.
  7. Slice 1 medium tomato (about 1/2 cup sliced) and arrange on top of the fish.
  8. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and fish.
  9. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, salt, and pepper to taste over the fish and tomatoes.
  10. Fold the parchment paper over the fish to create a sealed pouch.
  11. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-17 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and the tomatoes are cooked.
  12. Carefully open the pouch (steam will escape) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
