Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 mahi mahi fillets, thawed
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ pound unsalted butter, cubed and chilled

Directions

  1. Mix the first eight ingredients in a shallow dish. Coat both sides of the fish fillets in the spice mixture and set aside. In a large cast iron skillet or griddle, heat a small amount of vegetable oil until smoking. Blacken the fish over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side. In a small saucepan, reduce the lemon juice, wine and shallots until the liquid is almost completely gone. Add the cream and reduce by half. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter a little at a time, making sure that the sauce does not separate. Plate the fish and serve with a couple of spoonfuls of sauce.
