Ingredients
- 1.5 pound mahi mahi fillets (cut into 4 portions)
- 1 head cauliflower (cut into florets)
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat to approximately 400°F.
- In a small bowl, combine ground cumin, dried thyme, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper.
- Brush mahi mahi fillets with 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil and season all sides evenly with the spice blend.
- Place cauliflower florets into a steamer basket set over 1 inch of boiling water in a lidded saucepan. Cover and steam for 6 to 8 minutes until fork-tender.
- Grill mahi mahi fillets for 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning once, until fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer steamed cauliflower to a serving bowl, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil, season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and gently toss with fresh parsley.
- Plate one grilled mahi mahi fillet alongside a generous portion of herbed cauliflower and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled before placing the fish down to prevent sticking.
