🥘 Ingredients
Seafood
  • 2 mahi mahi fillets (6 oz each)
Blackening Spice
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Cooking
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
Serving
  • 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
  • 1/4 cup mango salsa (optional)
📝 Instructions
  1. Mix paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Shared 💡 This spice blend is versatile — make extra for chicken or steak.
  2. Pat mahi mahi fillets completely dry. Brush with melted butter on both sides. Shared 💡 Butter helps spices adhere and promotes darkening.
  3. Coat fillets generously with the blackening spice mixture, pressing it on with your fingers. Shared 💡 Be generous — the crust is the whole point.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F. Place fillets on parchment in basket. Shared 💡 High heat is essential for true blackening.
  5. Cook 8-10 minutes until internal temp reaches 145°F and the crust is dark and aromatic. Top Oven 💡 Dark crust is the goal — do not be alarmed by the color.
  6. Rest 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and mango salsa if desired. Shared 💡 The cool sweet mango salsa perfectly balances the spicy crust.
💡 Ninja Tips

Blackened means dark crust — do not be alarmed by color. Open windows — spice smoke can be strong. Pat fish VERY dry before seasoning.
