Easy Mahi Mahi in Lemony Garlic Caper Sauce
Our recipe for Mahi Mahi is so quick and easy yet feels rather FANCY!
Super Tasty, Tender, Flaky fish dressed to perfection with a QUICK garlicky lemon caper sauce!
Ready to eat in just about 10 minutes.
Mahi Mahi is a mild, slightly sweet tasting fish. It has a firm texture, yet is very tender and succulent once cooked.
If you’re trying to incorporate more fish into your plans, this is a great choice because mahi isn’t too fishy but still has great flavor. Mahi mahi has pale pink, lean flesh that once cooked becomes flaky and white.
🧄If you’re a garlic lover (like me!) Then you’re really going to enjoy the garlic-infused flavor here! Don’t be shy with the garlic…add additional cloves if you desire.
🧽Since you’re only using one pan, clean-up is easy, too!
Can’t find Mahi? Use any fish you can find on SALE or on special! Sea bass, monkfish, haddock, flounder, grouper, red snapper, cod, halibut, whiting, hake, pollock, etc.
Are you trying to incorporate more fish into your diet? You’re not alone! Many people desire to mix up their proteins and get the health benefits many fish and seafood offer….but where to start?!
If you’re not sure whether you like eating fish – but love all their health benefits – white fish may be just the solution for you!
They’re less “fishy†and milder than other fish, which makes them a great place to start!
Each fish has its own nutritional makeup … but they’re all a nutrient-dense source of protein and micronutrients that contain very few calories.
They’re also:
Low in fat
High in protein, B vitamins
Packed with minerals like potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
ðŸŸWhy eat fish? Research suggests it’s linked with a lower risk of depression, heart disease, and cognitive decline as we get older.
ðŸ²If you can’t buy fresh whitefish from a fishmonger, choose wild-caught, frozen-at-sea.
Frozen at sea means they are frozen soon after being caught, which preserves them at their freshest point.

🋠ALWAYS use freshly-squeezed lemon juice from an actual fresh lemon. Bottled lemon juice from the store will give your dish a strange metallic or overly acidic taste. We want our fish to taste bright and fresh.
