Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 lime, juice and zest
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Season both sides of the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and pepper. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Peel and dice the mango into small pieces. Zest and juice the lime.
- In a bowl, combine the softened butter, diced mango, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic. Mix well and set the mango lime butter aside.
- Heat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the Mahi Mahi fillets for about 4–5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for the butter. The mango-lime butter can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead.
