Introducing the Swift Mahi Delight!
Are you ready for a culinary adventure that brings together the vibrant flavors of a homemade seasoning blend and the succulence of Mahi Mahi? Say hello to our Swift Mahi Delight—a quick and easy recipe that promises a burst of taste in every bite.
Prep Time: Just 5 minutes
Cook Time: A mere 6 minutes
Total Time: 11 minutes of flavor-packed perfection
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 Mahi Mahi fillets, thawed (4 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Seasoning Blend:
- ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions:
- Begin by crafting the flavor magic—mix smoked paprika, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, oregano, and salt in a small shallow bowl or plate.
- Gently pat dry the Mahi Mahi fillets with paper towels. Now, drizzle 1 – 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil over the fillets, ensuring a delightful coating.
- Dredge each fillet in the enchanting blackened seasoning, discarding any excess—this is where the flavor dance begins.
- Heat things up by melting butter and the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is sizzling, introduce the fillets. Let them sizzle for 2-3 minutes or until a golden symphony plays on one side. Now, orchestrate a flip and let the other side join the golden brigade until the fish is cooked through and flakes with ease.
Tips for Culinary Success:
- Prior to the oil and seasoning embrace, give the Mahi-Mahi a gentle pat with paper towels—it’s their pre-dance ritual.
- Once you’ve coated the fish in the blackened spices, bid farewell to any leftovers. They’ve served their purpose.
- Heat the butter and oil to a sizzling duet, creating a mouthwatering blackened crust during the searing process.
- Stay close to the skillet—the fish’s performance is quick, reaching its crescendo when it turns opaque and effortlessly flakes at its thickest part.
- If your fish has been on an icy adventure, thaw it gracefully overnight in the refrigerator. Never refreeze the ones that have thawed, though. Embrace them within 1–2 days.
- The Swift Mahi Delight isn’t exclusive to Mahi-Mahi; it waltzes well with snapper, cod, grouper, and sea bass.
- Brace yourself for a spicy celebration! Adjust the cayenne pepper if your taste buds prefer a milder soiree.
- The finale—store any remaining symphony in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the encore, check below for reheating tips.
