Ingredients

2 lemons sliced into thin rounds
1 pound Mahi Mahi fillets
2 tablespoons butter melted
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay the lemon slices on the baking sheet so the Mahi Mahi can sit on top of them.
Place the fish on top of the lemons and brush them with the butter on both sides.
Combine the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, thyme, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir and sprinkle over the fish, coating both sides with seasoning.
Bake the fish for 10 minutes, then broil on high for 1 ½ minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

You can reheat the fish in the microwave, but I recommend covering it with paper towel while you heat it. Give it an additional squeeze of lemon juice after reheating as well.
