Paper products contribute to deforestation. 

2

step

Mix together paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme in a shallow bowl. 

3

step

Press Mahi-Mahi into seasoning and flip, coating the fish completely with blackening seasoning on both sides. 

4

step

Add your oil to a cast-iron skillet (preferred) or nonstick pan, and turn the stove on to medium heat to get the oil nice and hot. 

5

step

Once your oil is hot, carefully drop both season-coated Mahi-Mahi into the pan one at a time, leaving about an inch of space in between. 

6

step

Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until it has an internal temperature of 145°F. You’ll know your fish is ready to flip if it easily peels off your pan. 

7

step

Enjoy! Serve with garnish and lemon or some of your favorite side dishes.

tips

Adjust your spice level with the amount of cayenne. 1/2 teaspoon makes it moderately spicy.

While handling raw fish, it's important to make sure you wash your hands frequently and use a clean plate to transfer your cooked fish to.
