Ingredients
Blackened Grouper
- 4 grouper fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Mango Slaw
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 ½ cups shredded red and green cabbage and carrots (can use packaged coleslaw mix)
- 1 cup diced mango
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Lime Aioli
- 6 tablespoons 2% Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley (optional)
Other:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 sandwich rolls
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
- You can test to see if your fish is done is by testing it with a fork, at the thickest part, and twisting gently. The fish will flake easily when it's done. Also, when it's cooked, it will lose its translucent appearance and will be opaque.
- If you can't find grouper, you can substitute any firm white fish like sea bass, mahi mahi, halibut or snapper.
- You can also make smaller versions of this sandwich using slider rolls and smaller pieces of fish. The grouper sliders make an excellent party appetizer!
