Parmesan Herb Baked Mahi Mahi
Description
The dish starts with marinating mahi mahi filets in olive oil, crushed garlic, and a zesty Italian seasoning blend for at least 30 minutes, infusing flavor. After marination, a creamy topping made from Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs is spread over each filet. The topping adds richness and texture.
Baked at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, the fillets cook through while the topping browns to a golden crust. The combination of mayonnaise and yogurt keeps the topping creamy yet slightly firm with a crisp breadcrumb finish when baked. Optional extra breadcrumbs can enhance the crunch.
The baked fish is served simply, allowing the herb and Parmesan topping to highlight the mild mahi mahi. Garnishing with lemon or fresh herbs adds brightness to the dish.
