Ingredients

Blackened Mahi Mahi

  • 1 lb mahi mahi fillets
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (1/2 oz)
  • 1 tsp each: chili powder, garlic powder, oregano
  • 1/2 tsp each: smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper

Mango Salsa

  • 1 cup mango, chopped (170 grams)
  • 1 roma tomato, diced (148 grams)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped (40 grams)
  • 1/2 small jalapeño, diced (10 grams)
  • 3 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Combine mango, tomato, onion, lime juice, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add salt and pepper, then mix and set aside.
  • Gently pat mahi mahi dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
  • Combine spices in a shallow bowl. Coat both sides of the mahi mahi fillets with the blackening spices.
  • In a cast iron skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add seasoned mahi mahi fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until fish flakes apart easily with a fork.
  • Serve mahi mahi with mango salsa over a bed of rice, if desired.
