Grilled Mahi Mahi with Blackened Seasoning is a flavorful and healthy seafood dish. The fish is seasoned with a spicy blackened rub and then grilled to perfection, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior. This recipe is quick to prepare and ideal for a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Mahi Mahi fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning blend (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the blackened seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  3. Brush the Mahi Mahi fillets with olive oil on both sides.
  4. Generously rub the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the seasoned Mahi Mahi fillets on the hot grill.
  7. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  8. Carefully remove the grilled Mahi Mahi from the grill.
  9. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in the blackened seasoning to your preferred spice level.
  • For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning blend.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can pan-sear the Mahi Mahi in a hot skillet with a little olive oil for 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftover grilled Mahi Mahi can be flaked and used in tacos, salads, or wraps.
