Baked Mahi-Mahi with Garlic-Herb Butter

Ingredients

• Fresh rosemary

• 1 medium lemon

• 4 (5 ounce) skinless mahi-mahi fillets

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish

• 1 medium clove garlic, grated

• ½ teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Grate lemon to yield 1 teaspoon zest; place the zest in a small microwaveable bowl.

4. Cut 4 (1/4-inch-thick) slices from the grated lemon; transfer the slices to the prepared baking sheet. Save remaining lemon for another use. Place 1 mahi-mahi fillet on top of each lemon slice. Sprinkle evenly with salt.

5. Place butter, thyme, garlic, pepper and paprika rosemary in the bowl with the lemon zest. Microwave on High until the butter is melted and the spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir to combine.

6. Spoon and brush evenly over the mahi-mahi fillets. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.

7. Garnish with additional thyme, if desired.
