👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets very dry with paper towels; this is crucial for the blackening crust. In a shallow dish, combine all the blackening seasoning ingredients.
2. Dip each fillet into the melted unsalted butter, ensuring it's fully coated, then thoroughly dredge in the blackening seasoning, pressing firmly to adhere.
3. Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke lightly. Place the seasoned Mahi Mahi fillets in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep, dark crust forms and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
