Scale
Mahi Mahi:
2 wild Mahi Mahi filets, 6-8oz each
1 tsp garlic powder, divided
1/4 tsp ground black pepper, divided
Salt
Ghee for cooking (or sub butter or avocado oil)
Turmeric Cauliflower:
2 cups cauliflower, cut into very small florets
1/2 tsp turmeric
Several grinds of black pepper
Salt to taste
Olive oil or avocado oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Mahi Mahi: Season the top of each filet (side without skin) with the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, spreading evenly over top. This will be 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 1/8 tsp (a large pinch) of black pepper, and a few sprinkles of salt for each filet.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet to medium heat with olive oil or avocado oil. Add cauliflower florets and season with the turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Cover the skillet and cook the cauliflower for about 4-5 minutes. Remove the cover and add the Mahi Mahi filets (put the seasoned side face down). Cook for several minutes uncovered, until the filets are browned and crispy, then flip over and cook another few minutes, still uncovered.
