📝 Ingredients

  • 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)
  • 1 small Hass avocado (mashed)
  • 4 kaiser rolls
  • 1 small tomato (sliced)
  • 1 cup lettuce leaves ((any kind: romaine, spinach, bibb))
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (cut into fries)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1--- Sweet Potato Fries ---
  2. 2Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a bowl, toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Bake until tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. 3--- Blackened Mahi Mahi ---
  4. 4Combine 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.
  5. 5In 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.
  6. 6Slice the kaiser rolls. Spread mashed avocado on each roll then add lettuce, tomato and mahi mahi fillet. Serve with sweet potato fries. Enjoy!
