Best Ever Blackened Mahi Mahi Fillets Recipes

BEST EVER BLACKENED MAHI-MAHI FILLETS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all blackening spices in a bowl to make the seasoning and mix well. Store any leftover seasoning mix in an airtight container for future use.
• Use a paper towel and pat dry the fillets.
• Melt two tablespoons of butter. Use a pastry brush and coat both sides of the fillets.
• Top each fillet with about a tablespoon of the blackened spice mix and rub in with your fingers. Flip over and do the same thing on the other side.
• Add three tablespoons of butter (you can substitute olive oil) to a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Set your kitchen exhaust fan to high. Blackening fish will produce smoke. When the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the fish and let it cook undisturbed for 3 minutes.
• Use a fish spatula or pancake-turner and turn the fillets over. Cook for another three to four minutes. You can tell when fish is done when the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily when pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
• Serve the blackened mahi-mahi hot with a squeeze of lemon juice over the top.
