👩🍳 How to Make It
1. Prepare the Sheet Pan
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for quick cleanup and even roasting.
2. Roast the Blackened Mahi-Mahi
Pat the mahi-mahi dry, then brush with olive oil. Coat each fillet generously with the blackening seasoning and a pinch of salt. Arrange the fish on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Roast for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly charred and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
3. Make the Mango Slaw
While the fish cooks, combine the shredded red cabbage, julienned mango, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a large bowl. Toss well and let the slaw rest for a few minutes so the flavors blend while maintaining a crisp texture.
4. Prepare the Coconut-Lime Crema
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, coconut cream, lime zest, lime juice, honey, and salt until smooth, creamy, and thick.
5. Assemble and Serve
Place each blackened mahi-mahi fillet onto a toasted brioche slider bun. Top generously with the fresh mango slaw, then drizzle with the creamy coconut-lime crema. Serve immediately while the fish is hot and the slaw is crisp.
