Share recipe
Description
I am a transplanted Floridian and this takes me back to memories of when I lived on the coast of Florida. I love serving this with fresh vegetables and risotto.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- ½ cup garlic- and herb-seasoned panko bread crumbs
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 ½ teaspoons seafood seasoning Old Bay
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 4 (5 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
Directions
- 1. Preheat a large saucepan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil, then add panko. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and panko is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- 2. Transfer bread crumb mixture to a small bowl and add lemon zest, seafood seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; mix to combine. Set aside.
- 3. Wipe out the saucepan and pour in remaining oil. Season fish fillets with remaining salt and add to the pan.
- 4. Cook over medium heat until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- 5. Serve fish topped with bread crumb mixture.
