Instructions

Step 1

Make the blackening seasoning. Add ground cayenne, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin to a bowl and mix to combine.

Step 2

Pat the mahi-mahi dry with a paper towel, then add it to a large mixing bowl. Coat the mahi-mahi evenly with 1 tablespoon of the oil, then add the blackening seasoning mixture and mix until the fish is evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat a cast-iron or non-stick pan over high heat with the rest of the oil. Once hot, turn the heat to medium-high heat and add the mahi-mahi. Cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute and a half, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice over the filets, and serve!
