ROASTED MAHI MAHI WITH LEMON, PARSLEY, GARLIC OIL AND GARLIC SCAPES
Recipe courtesy of David Ford, one of our Eat Like a Fish Citizen Scientists
RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
1½ pounds fresh mahi mahi fillets
Olive oil for baking and frying
Sea salt and black pepper (Tellicherry preferred) to taste
1 bunch garlic scapes, ends trimmed
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, juiced
1 bunch parsley, chopped
1 lemon, cut in wedges
PREPARATION
Set oven to 450 degrees.
Brush fillets with olive oil on both sides. Liberally sprinkle salt and pepper on each side and rub into the flesh with the backside of a soupspoon.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil, and arrange fillets and garlic scapes on sheet.
Roast for 10 minutes, or until reaching desired doneness.
Meanwhile, pour enough olive oil in a pan to cover the bottom and heat until just shimmering. Add garlic and gently cook a few minutes. Do not let garlic brown. Stir in ½ of lemon juice. Remove from heat.
Lay roasted fillets on a serving platter. Scatter chopped parsley on fish and drizzle with remaining lemon juice. Place garlic scapes on top.
Serve with leftover cooking oil and lemon wedges on the side.
Tip
The garlic sauce is served on the side to allow spooning the desired amount on the fish when served. The garlic scapes add crunch and visual appeal to the fish. This recipe would work well for most fresh filets of fish.

This recipe is honestly one of my new favorites! It feel rich and decadent and is easy to make. This recipe is perfect for any type of local flounder such as grey sole, winter flounder, yellowtail flounder, summer flounder, american plaice, or dabs! I’ve also tried it with tautog and black sea bass and baked it vs broiling it and kept it in the oven for longer until the fish was flakey when I poked a fork into it. Make sure you have lots of bread for dipping in the sauce too.

Monkfish is delicious and we highly recommend trying it but if you can’t find monkfish this would also be very tasty with a flakey white fish such as haddock, pollock, acadian redfish, cusk, hake, sea robin, or tautog.
