Benefits of Eating Fish
Besides tasting delicious, fish has multiple health benefits. It’s packed with nutrients(omega-3’s, vitamin D, protein… etc.. just to name a few), it could lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, depression, autoimmune disease (diabetes), and even asthma. It can also improve vision and sleep!
Sometimes fish can be hard to include in your diet because (especially fish like salmon or trout) because it can taste… well… fishy. Recipes like this Parmesan Herb Baked Mahi Mahi are great for easing in to fish because you get perfectly tender, flaky, flavorful fish without the strong fishy flavor. My husband, who has a bit of an aversion to fish, absolutely LOVES this and has actually REQUESTED more than once which is kind of a big deal.
Tips for this Recipe
- I typically find beautiful mahi mahi filets for a decent price at Costco. I like to get their individually packaged frozen filets. But if you don’t have any on hand, you could use cod, tilapia, halibut, or any kind of fish.
- The only ingredient that you may not have on hand for this is the Italian seasoning mix. If you don’t have it available, don’t worry about making a special trip to the store just to get some… we have got you covered. We have a homemade version on our Zesty Italian Shredded Chicken recipe. It’s so yummy on chicken, fish, burgers, just about anything!
- For a top notch Mahi Mahi meal, serve this dish with a simple side salad and some Easy Stovetop Rice Pilaf with Orzo and our Oven Roasted Asparagus. Your family will love this!

Made this and omitted the mayo, used about a tablespoon of Dijon mustard instead. Also used panko bread crumbs. Recipe was delicious. My daughter and I loved it! Great alternative to your everyday fish recipe. Thanx!
Leslie says
Very moist and tasty. My picky teenager even liked it! Thanks.
Mitch says
I added some Dijon mustard too but I didn’t put bread crumbs. The fish was delicious!! Thank you!!
Favorite Family Recipes says
Oh great idea using Dijon mustard! I bet it just adds a nice little punch of flavor. Going to try that next time!
Sharon W says
The tastiest fish recipe I’ve ever tried. We like to try different recipes for mild flavored fish and they are always ok or good but this was Delicious. My son actually stumbled on to it and really loved it – he insisted that we try it so I made it for the whole family tonight and all of us really loved it. This is my first ‘keeper’ fish recipe. Thank you!!!

Hi,
I am doing Hawaii as my theme for my gourmet dinner club. This dish sounds really delish but I want to make it a little fancier for Dinner club…..Any ideas?
Thanks,
Maureen K
Erica Walker says
What do you mean by fancier? You can garnish it with a Hawaiian flower or serve with a pretty salad (search “salad” on our site to find some great options) The Nuts About Berries Salad is a good one! Hope this helps!
Jackie Frayne says
First time making a comment but this recipe deserves one. Since my husband can no longer eat red meats, we have turned to seafood in our old age. I have tried many fish recipes on Pinterest, most were good , but this one is exceptional. Absolutely delicious! I cut the recipe in half for us and substituted sour cream for yogurt because I had none on hand. It was great. Thank you
Favorite Family Recipes says
I am so glad that you guys loved this recipe as much as we do! Thanks for the 5-star rating!!
Christina Bates says
Can you marinade the fish longer than 30 minutes, say prep in the morning before going to work?
Echo Blickenstaff says
Yes, that should work fine. Thank you for asking!
Donna Reuter says
Not a fish lover….but this was excellent! Thank you! making it again tonight!
Ana says
Would you recommend thawing frozen filets or can this be done from frozen and skipping the marinade step?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I would thaw the filets. They will absorb the marinade so much better, and that’s what makes it delicious!
