Ingredients
2 Mahi Mahi filets (about 4.0 oz each) fresh fish or frozen works fine
Olive oil for brushing
1 teas cumin
1 teas chili powder
1 teas brown sugar
1/2 teas garlic powder
1/2 teas oregano
1/2 teas sea salt
1/4 teas black pepper
1/4 teas smoked paprika
Instructions
- Defrost fish filets if using frozen. We love Costco's Wild Caught Mahi Mahi fillets
- Combine blackened seasoning mix: cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper and smoked paprika
- Lightly oil grate of grill to avoid fish sticking while cooking
- Heat grill to medium heat at about 350° F
- Brush the filets on both sides lightly with olive oil
- Cover the filets with spice rub completely on both sides, lightly patting the rub onto the fish
- As the fish cooks on the grill, watch as it just begins to flake. If filet is about 1" thick, cook fish for a total time of 5-7 min (about 2.5-3.5 minutes on each side).
- Enjoy right away!
Notes
Serve over a bed of greens, cauliflower rice or jasmine rice. Top with this delicious mango salsa or even combine in taco form. The perfect summer meal to enjoy on the patio or deck.
