Ingredients
Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich
- 4 mahi mahi fillets
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
- 4 Kaiser rolls
Sweet Potato Fries
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into fries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt, pepper, smoked paprika to taste
Optional Toppings
- 1 small Hass avocado, mashed
- 1 small tomato, sliced
- 1 cup lettuce leaves, (any kind: romaine, spinach, bibb)
Instructions
Sweet Potato Fries
- Preheat oven to 450ºF. In a bowl, toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Bake for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through. Set aside.
Blackened Mahi Mahi
- Combine the paprika, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Lay the mahi mahi filets on a clean work surface and sprinkle the spice mix evenly over each filet, rubbing it on all sides.
- In a non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add 2 of the mahi mahi filets and cook, undisturbed until they're just beginning to blacken, about 4 minutes.
- Flip the filets and cook for another 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining 2 filets. Set aside.
- Slice the Kaiser rolls. Spread mashed avocado on each roll then add lettuce, tomato and mahi mahi fillet. Serve with sweet potato fries. Enjoy!
Notes
TIP: If you're looking for a quick dipping sauce for the sweet potato fries, make Chipotle Aioli Sauce by mixing mayo, minced garlic, lime juice, and chili powder in a bowl. You can also serve with ranch or BBQ sauce.
