Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare your brussel sprout fish taco slaw (or other taco bowl toppings that you desire) and set them aside.
  • Mix together the Cajun BBQ Dry Rub and set it aside.
  • Preheat your cooking surface (cast iron skillet, griddle, grill, smoker or oven) to 350 F.
  • Remove any skin from your fish. Pat your mahi mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and then drizzle each fillet with a few teaspoons of oil so both sides are coated. You should have a little oil reserved for you pan/ grill grates as needed.
  • Generously season each side of the fish fillet with the blackened seasoning and set them aside.
  • Griddle/ Cast Iron Sear: Preheat the pan and add the remaining oil. Sear and press each fillet down onto the flat surface and cook 4-6 minutes per side. The fish should look opaque and become flakier and reach an internal temperature of 145 F.
  • Directly Grilling: Preheat to medium heat of 350 F. Oil the grates generously before searing and follow the steps above.
  • Smoking: Smoke at 250 F using lighter woods for roughly 30 minutes or until it reaches 145 F.
  • Roasting/ Baking: Slow roast at 250 F. on a foil covered baking sheet until it reaches 145 F. about 30 minutes.
  • Remove your hot fish and serve over your brussel sprout slaw or cabbage mixture of choice. Mix up the sour cream, lime juice, and a teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning and drizzle over the fish if desired.

Notes

If you plan to meal prep this recipe, prep the slaw ahead of time and cook the fish the day of for the freshest results. If cooking everything ahead of time, do not reheat your fish in the microwave but either eat cold or reheat in a oven or air fryer etc. if possible to avoid drying it out.
