mahi mahi fillets

🥗Healthier: cod

💰Cheaper: tilapia

Cod is a lean fish with a similar texture.

Mix 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika in a bowl.

Set the spice mixture aside.

Dry the mahi mahi fillets with a paper towel.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

Coat the top and bottom of the mahi mahi fillets with the spice mixture.

Once the oil is hot, gently lay the coated fillets into the skillet.

Cook the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, carefully turning them after the first 3 minutes to avoid splattering oil.

Add a pad of butter to the skillet just before the fish is finished cooking on the second side.

Remove the fillets from the skillet and add another pad of butter to loosen any spices or bits stuck to the bottom.

Add 1-2 cloves of garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring it around in the hot oil.

Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and let it come to a simmer.

Add the fillets back to the skillet with the simmering sauce and let them simmer on both sides for a couple of minutes to reduce the sauce.
