Equipment

Ingredients
Blackened Seasoning
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Main Ingredients
- 4 Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Mix all the spices in a small bowl to create the blackened seasoning. Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry and coat them generously with the seasoning mixture.
- In a medium saucepan, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. For extra flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the seasoned Mahi Mahi fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until a dark crust forms and the fish is opaque in the center.
- While the fish cooks, slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the bell pepper. Set aside for assembly.
Assembly
- Start with a base of cooked jasmine rice in each bowl. Add the blackened Mahi Mahi fillets on top, followed by the sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper.
- Serve the Blackened Mahi Rice Bowl immediately while the fish is hot and the vegetables are fresh.
Storage
- Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the fish gently to preserve its texture.
