Ingredients
- 6 mahi mahi fillets skin removed
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil divided
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Mix together the seasonings in a small mixing bowl. Place the mahi mahi fillets on a plate.
- Rub 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil onto both sides of the fillets.
- Then spoon the seasoning mixture over the mahi mahi and spread it around. Make sure to season both sides of the fish. I use approximately ½ teaspoon per fillet.
- Heat the remaining avocado oil over high heat in a cast iron skillet.
- Place the mahi mahi fillets on the hot cast iron skillet on top of the oil. Let them cook for 2 minutes. Time them and do not move the fish during this cooking day so that the fish will get blackened.
- Then flip the mahi mahi fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mahi mahi reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Remove the mahi mahi from the pan and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the mahi mahi is cooked to a safe temperature before removing it from the grill.
- You can use any oil with a high smoke point for this recipe instead of avocado oil. Vegetable oil, Canola oil and Coconut oil would all work great for this recipe.
