Creole Blackened Mahi Mahi

Creole Blackened Mahi Mahi

4 – 6 oz Mahi Mahi fillets (I prefer fresh and never frozen)
4 tbs Creole seasoning
Olive Oil
Lemon slices

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Make sure fish is patted dry. Sprinkle both sides of the fillet with 1 Tbs of the seasoning and set aside. Heat a large oven proof skillet over medium heat and add 2 tbs of olive oil. As the oil starts to produce whiffs of smoke add the fillets and let until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a fish spatula turn each fillet and place pan in oven to finish, about 5 to 6 minutes.

I served this with Braised Vegetables in beef broth (Brocolini, Asparagus, Zucchini squash and cherry tomatoes) and spicy Horseradish Mashed Potatoes and garnished with Lemon slices.
