Blackened Wild Mahi Mahi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a spice blend.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and rub the spice mix generously on both sides of the fish.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Ensure it is well-oiled to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Mahi Mahi

    Place the seasoned Mahi Mahi fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a nice blackened crust.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the fillets from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
