Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
For the Mango Salsa
- In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients and gently toss together. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper and lime juice as desired.
For the Blackened Snapper
- In a shallow bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Mix to fully combine.
- Rinse the fish under cold water and pat very dry with paper towel. Coat both sides with the spice mix and set aside.
- Preheat a stainless-steel skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the avocado oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully add the fish to the hot oil and cook until the flesh has lightly blackened, around 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until lightly blackened and the thickest part of the fish is opaque and warmed through, around 2 more minutes.
- Transfer the fish filets to individual serving plates, top with the mango salsa and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing and side dish of choice, such as steamed rice.
