2. Brush both sides with melted butter.
3. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 4: Sear the Mahi Mahi

3. Move the fillets to the flat cooktop to finish cooking.

Step 5: Glaze and Finish Cooking

1. Brush the fillets generously with the lilikoi glaze.
2. Continue cooking on the flat cooktop, brushing occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 130°F.

2. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Tips
