Instructions

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk together minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Marinate: Lay out the mahi mahi fillets on a baking sheet or oven-proof dish. Brush them generously with the garlic-herb mixture. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Roasting: Slide the baking sheet or dish into the preheated oven. Roast the mahi mahi for about 12 minutes or until the fish easily flakes with a fork.

Notes

For a golden finish, you can broil the mahi mahi for an additional 1-2 minutes after roasting. Remember, the key to a moist and flavorful fish is not to overcook, so keep an eye on it! This dish is beautifully complemented by steamed vegetables or a light quinoa salad. Lastly, a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving can enhance the fresh ocean flavors of the mahi mahi.
