Pan Seared Mahi – Mahi

Ingredients:

  • 6oz Mahi-Mahi fillets (one per person)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil as needed.

Directions:

  • Pat the mahi-mahi dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and heat for 3-5 minutes until just starting to smoke. Add the mahi-mahi and sear undisturbed for about 4 minutes until bottoms are well-browned and sides are cooked about halfway up the fillets. Flip the fillets and continue to sear, about 2 to 4 minutes more depending on the thickness of the fillets, until just cooked through and the flesh flakes easily.
