Mahi-Mahi with a Lemon-Caper Butter Sauce

Mahi-mahi is a firm fish that works well as a vessel for whatever flavors you cook it with. It is mild in taste and doesn’t have that “fishy” flavor that you get when you use tuna or salmon.

• Hands-On Time: 5 minutes

• Cook Time: 4 minutes

Serves 2


2 (6-ounce, 1"-thick) mahi-mahi fillets

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons capers

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons ghee

1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley

1 Place a piece of foil on the Instant Pot®’s steamer basket. Set both fillets on the foil. Create a “boat” with the foil by bringing up the edges. Pour lemon juice on fish, add capers, and season with salt and zest. Add a tablespoon of ghee on top of each fillet.

2 Insert steamer basket with fish into the Instant Pot®. Lock lid. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust time to 4 minutes. Quick-release pressure until float valve drops and then unlock lid.

3 Transfer fish to two plates. Garnish each with 1/2 tablespoon chopped parsley and serve warm.
