A flavorful dish featuring blackened mahi mahi fillets with a smoky, spicy crust, perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Create Your Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
  2. Season the Mahi Mahi: Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the Mahi Mahi fillets, making sure each piece is well-coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, indicating that it’s hot and ready for action.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Once hot, add the fillets to the skillet. Allow them to cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a gorgeous blackened crust.
  5. Serve with a Zing: Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. A squeeze of fresh lemon will elevate the flavors and brighten the dish.

Notes

For best results, ensure your skillet is hot before cooking. Pair with coleslaw or quinoa salad.
