Preparation

Preparing the Blackened Mahi Mahi

1. Season the Fish

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture evenly over each mahi mahi fillet.

2. Cook the Fish

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned mahi mahi fillets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Creamy Mashed Potatoes

1. Cook the Potatoes

Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

2. Mash the Potatoes

Return the potatoes to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Preparing the Chorizo and Corn

1. Cook the Chorizo

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add Corn

Stir in corn kernels and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the corn is heated through.

Plating

1. Serve

On a plate, serve a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes, topped with the chorizo and corn mixture, alongside the blackened mahi mahi.
