Blackened Dolphin with Chimichurri Sauce

Cultural Context

Originating from the coastal regions of the southern United States, blackened fish is a cooking technique popularized by Chef Paul Prudhomme in the 1980s. The method involves seasoning fish with a blend of spices and cooking it in a hot skillet, creating a flavorful crust. Chimichurri sauce, with its roots in Argentina, adds a vibrant, herbaceous contrast to the spicy fish. Today, blackened dolphin is enjoyed in various forms across America, often served in seafood restaurants and at home.

Place the seasoned mahi mahi fillets on a hot flat top grill or cast iron frying pan.
