Blackened Mahi Mahi and Vegetables
Ingredients
- 12 spears broccolini
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 2 pieces of fresh or thawed Mahi Mahi
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- ½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- lemon wedges
For the blackened seasoning:
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- Trim the broccolini into even-size pieces. If the stalks are thick, cut them in half, length-wise, so they cook more evenly.
- Mix the cayenne, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Next, rub a small amount of avocado oil on both sides and then sprinkle both sides of the fish evenly with the seasoning.
- In a 12-inch cast-iron or oven-proof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the fish and allow it to sit for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side before turning. Cook 1 minute on the second side and move the fish to a plate. It will not be cooked through and that’s okay.
- Add the butter and remaining tablespoon of avocado oil to the hot pan, reduce heat to medium, and add the broccolini, or broccoli, chopped garlic, and pine nuts. Toss to coat and cook until the broccolini, or broccoli, turn bright green – about 2-4 minutes.
- Add the fish back into the skillet and transfer it all to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes.
- To serve, add a bit more butter if desired, and a sprinkle of salt. Squeeze over lemon and serve warm.
