Ingredients:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt, plus additional for seasoning
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
Four (6 to 8 oz) mahi mahi fillets

Directions:
Combine butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and basil in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until the butter melts.  Cover and keep warm over low heat.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste.  Cook the fish for 3 minutes; then turn and cook until just opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes more.  Transfer the fillets to individual plates.
Spoon the warm basil butter over the fish and serve.
