Parmesan Herb Baked Mahi Mahi is the best baked mahi mahi recipe EVER.. I would even go as far to say this the best FISH recipe ever. It is THAT good!
If you aren’t the biggest fan of fish (or even if you ARE), this recipe is for you. All you need is an hour (most of that time is marinating and baking) and a few simple ingredients and you’ve got some of the most flavorful, un-fishy tasting fish you will ever have.

In case you didn’t know already, adding fish to your diet is a very wise decision. Fish has SO many health benefits! Fish is 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! (source)
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 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).
This recipe is for baked mahi mahi but you can use cod, tilapia, halibut, or any kind of fish, really. I like the taste of mahi mahi because it has a mild flavor… and you can get it for a decent price at Costco (I like to get their individually packaged frozen filets). We have tried this with halibut, too, and it is incredible.
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 HERE. 🙂

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!!

Oh great idea using Dijon mustard! I bet it just adds a nice little punch of flavor. Going to try that next time!

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!!!
