- Mahi Mahi fillets - Olive oil - Unsalted butter - Lime - Smoked paprika - Onion powder - Garlic powder - Dried oregano - Dried thyme - Black pepper - Salt
Pat dry fish fillets with paper towels and then lightly coat both sides of the mahi mahi with olive oil, then set aside.
Dredge each piece of fish in the blackening seasoning until you coat both sides. Set the seasoned steaks aside.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter to the skillet and cook until entirely melted.
Gently transfer the seasoned fish to the hot pan, ensuring you don’t overcrowd it. You can cook this recipe in two batches if your fish doesn’t fit.
Cook the mahi mahi steaks for two minutes. Then, flip them over and cook on the opposite side for another two minutes.
Your mahi mahi should reach an internal temperature of 130 degrees F. before eating.
