Cajun Bronzed Mahi-Mahi
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 pound mahi-mahi fillet
1 tablespoon olive oil
Mix cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano and thyme together. Spoon half of spice mixture onto one side of the fish, pressing it into the flesh. Heat a skillet over high heat and add the oil. When it is very hot, add the mahi-mahi, seasoned side down. Spread remaining spice mixture over top of the fish. Cook until the underside is bronze in color, 3 to 4 minutes. Cook second side 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through. The fish is ready when a knife inserted into the flesh shows opaque rather than translucent meat.
