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.
