Blackened Mahi Mahi
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Mahi Mahi
In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the Mahi Mahi fillets.
Cook the Mahi Mahi
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Mahi Mahi fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Creamy Mash Potatoes
Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then mash with butter and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
Cook the Chorizo and Corn
In the same skillet used for the fish, add the chorizo sausage. Cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Serve
Plate the creamy mash potatoes, top with the chorizo and corn mixture, and place the blackened Mahi Mahi fillet on top. Enjoy!
