Chili Lime Mahi-Mahi with Blackened Broccoli

Chili Lime Mahi-Mahi with Blackened Broccoli is a flavorful seafood dish featuring:
Mahi-mahi: A mild, firm white fish seasoned with chili powder, lime juice/zest, garlic, and often cumin or paprika, then grilled, baked, or pan-seared.
Blackened broccoli: Broccoli cooked at high heat—usually roasted or seared—until tender with deeply browned, slightly charred edges. It’s typically coated in oil and bold Cajun-style or smoky spices.
The result is a zesty, smoky, mildly spicy, high-protein meal. It may be served with rice, quinoa, tortillas, or a creamy cilantro-lime sauce. “Blackened” refers to the dark spice crust and charring—not burned broccoli.

Directions

  • Place the broccoli florets in a microwave safe bowl along with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or just until crisp tender. (Cook time will vary by unit, so check after 2 minutes and adjust cook time accordingly. Do not overcook). Remove from microwave and transfer broccoli to a strainer to drain. Set aside.
  • While the broccoli is in the microwave, whisk together the lime juice, cilantro, one-quarter cup olive oil, honey, red pepper flakes, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and add to the hot skillet. Brush the tops and sides generously with the chili lime sauce while it cooks. After 4-5 minutes, carefully flip the fillets and brush the exposed surfaces with additional sauce.
  • Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or just until the fillets are cooked through. Remove from heat and transfer the mahi-mahi to a plate. Set aside.
  • Toss the steamed broccoli with the remaining chili lime sauce and transfer to the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is nicely browned and caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Return the mahi-mahi and its juices to the skillet. Remove from heat and serve immediately with the blackened broccoli. Enjoy!
