A Healthy 30-Minute Meal: Oven Fried Mahi Mahi

If you’re looking for a healthy dinner option, this recipe is perfect for you! Oven Fried Mahi Mahi is one of our favorite entrees because it’s such a healthy meal base, it’s extremely flavorful, and it’s so simple to make. Mahi Mahi has zero carbs, is low in fat and calories, and very high in protein, but when you fry your fish, it cancels out some of those health properties. That’s why we turn to this low sodium Oven Fried Mahi Mahi recipe that uses the oven to bake this tasty fillet. It tastes and looks just like it’s been fried so you can enjoy all of the flavor without all of the added fats. Ready in just about 30 minutes, we’re sure you’re going to love this recipe too!

You don’t need much to make this flavorful and healthy dish. You’ll need the Mahi Mahi fillets, some avocado or olive oil, bread crumbs, cooking spray, and your favorite no-salt seasoning.

Simply brush your fillets with a very light layer of avocado oil, then cover them in the bread crumb and seasoning mix, then place them in a greased baking pan in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes to allow the breading to set. Preheat your oven to 450ºF, remove them from the freezer, spray them with a tiny bit of cooking oil, then bake them for about 20 minutes.

Remove them from the oven and serve with salad, slaw, or any other side you love to pair with your fish dinners. This is a simple, delicious, and healthy meal your whole family will enjoy.
