Seared Mahi Mahi with Zesty Basil Butter

Fish
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, plus additional for seasoning

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning

  • 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 (6 to 8-ounce) mahi mahi fillets

Combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until the butter melts. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the fish for 3 minutes; then turn and cook until just opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the fillets to individual plates.
Spoon the warm basil butter over the fish and serve.
