This is one of my family's favorite fish recipes for southern cooking. Serve over rice. Steamed vegetables go great with this dish.

Ingredients

2 (4 ounce) fillets mahi mahi
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup salted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 drops Louisiana-style hot sauce, or to taste
1 roma tomato, seeded and chopped (Optional)
1 green onion, chopped

Directions

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Rub the mahi mahi fillets with the olive oil and lay into a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
While the mahi mahi bakes, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the garlic, lemon juice, and hot sauce into the melted butter; simmer together for 1 minute. Add the tomato and green onion to the butter mixture; cook and stir until hot. Spoon over the baked fish to serve.
