Blackened Cajun Mahi Mahi

By 1For_Him

Serve with Coconut Lime Rice
*1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper will make this mild spicy. If you like it spicier, feel free to add more. If you are heat sensitive, add less or even leave it out so it is more kid friendly.
**This recipe will work for any firm fish filet. I’ve also done this with halibut, salmon, sole. Use any wild caught fish of your choice!

Preparation

Step 1

Make the spice rub by combining all the dried spices on a plate and stirring with a fork to combine.

Heat a medium size skillet over medium high heat. While it is heating up, dredge the fish filets in the spice rub and coat evenly. When the pan is warm, add the coconut oil, and cook the spice rubbed fish until cooked thru. Cooking time will depending on the thickness of your fish. Typically about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Serve warm. Top with sliced avocado and wedges of lime. I love serving mine on top of my coconut lime rice.
