Blackened Grouper Sandwich with Mango Slaw
The Blackened Grouper Sandwich pairs spicy, seasoned grouper fillets pan-seared until cooked through with a fresh mango slaw and creamy lime aioli. The blackening spice blend includes paprika, thyme, garlic, and onion powder for robust flavor. The mango slaw adds a crisp and tangy contrast, while the lime aioli provides a cooling finish. Served on sandwich rolls, this combination balances warm, spicy fish with bright, sweet, and creamy elements.

Ingredients
Blackened Grouper
- 4 grouper fillet 6 ounces each
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Mango Slaw
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 ½ cups green cabbage
- 2 ½ cups carrot
- 2 ½ cups red cabbage can use packaged coleslaw mix, shredded
- 1 cup Mango diced
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Lime Aioli
- 6 tablespoons Greek yogurt 2% fat
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons cilantro optional, or parsley, chopped
Other:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 sandwich roll
Instructions
- To make the mango slaw, whisk the lime juice and honey together in a bowl. Add the cabbage, carrots, mango, and salt. Toss to combine.
- To make the lime aioli, mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, and herbs together in a bowl.
- To make the blackened grouper, first make a spice rub by combining the paprika, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder and salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with the spice mix, rubbing it in. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the grouper. Cook 4 minutes then carefully flip the pieces over and cook another 3-4 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place each piece of grouper on a roll bottom and top with a dollop of lime aioli and some mango slaw. Add the roll tops and serve.

Notes
- Check fish doneness by gently flaking the thickest part with a fork; it should flake easily and look opaque.
- Substitute grouper with any firm white fish such as sea bass, mahi mahi, halibut, or snapper if unavailable.
- Make smaller slider versions of this sandwich with mini rolls and smaller fish pieces for appetizers.
