🐟 Sheila’s Blackened Mahi Mahi with Broccoli Slaw

Featuring Cajun Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt

A bold, fresh, and flavorful dish with a zesty slaw, crispy seared fish, and creamy sriracha aioli—all seasoned to perfection with Cajun Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt.


🧂 Ingredients

  • For the Mahi Mahi:
  • 2 Mahi Mahi fillets
  • Cajun Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt, to taste
  • Olive or avocado oil (for searing)

For the Broccoli Slaw:

  • 1 bag broccoli slaw mix
  • 1 tbsp diced jalapeño
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (reserve some for garnish)
  • 3 tbsp chopped cilantro (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1 Roma tomato, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (divided)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 splashes seasoned rice vinegar
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

For the Sriracha Aioli:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • Remaining minced garlic
  • Splash of soy sauce
  • Sriracha, to taste
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

👩🍳 Instructions

1. Season the Fish

Pat Mahi Mahi dry. Season both sides generously with Cajun Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt and set aside.

2. Make the Cilantro Lime Dressing

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • ½ of the minced garlic
  • EVOO, crushed red pepper
  • Juice from both limes
  • Seasoned rice vinegar
  • Salt & pepper

3. Toss the Slaw

In a large bowl, combine broccoli slaw mix, jalapeños, chopped tomato, and the cilantro lime dressing. Toss until well coated. Set aside to marinate.

4. Heat the Skillet

Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil (olive or avocado) and allow it to get hot—it should be just shy of smoking.

5. Make the Sriracha Aioli

In a small bowl, mix mayo, remaining garlic, soy sauce, sriracha (to taste), and a pinch of salt & pepper until smooth.

6. Cook the Fish

Carefully place Mahi Mahi into the hot skillet. Do not touch until it’s ready to flip—about 2–3 minutes or when the edges start turning opaque. Flip once and cook another 1–2 minutes. Fish should be lightly blackened and cooked through.

7. Assemble the Bowls

  • Add slaw to serving bowls
  • Place blackened Mahi Mahi on top
  • Drizzle with Sriracha Aioli
  • Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and a lime wedge

Pro Tip: This dish is perfect served over rice or tucked into warm tortillas for tacos!
