π©βπ³ How to Make It
1. Prepare the Sheet Pan
Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Roast the Blackened Mahi-Mahi
Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry and brush with olive oil. Coat generously with the blackening seasoning and a pinch of salt. Arrange the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and the edges are lightly charred.
3. Make the Radish Slaw
While the fish roasts, combine the matchstick radishes, shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Toss until evenly coated and let the slaw rest for a few minutes to develop its fresh, zesty flavor.
4. Blend the Avocado Crema
Add the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, creamy, and thick.
5. Assemble and Serve
Double the butter lettuce leaves for extra support. Add a generous layer of the radish slaw, then gently break the blackened mahi-mahi into large flakes and place them on top. Finish with a generous drizzle of the creamy avocado crema and serve immediately.
