Grilled Blackened Mahi Mahi w/ Brown Rice and Steam Crisp Corn

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Blackened Mahi Mahi w/ Brown Rice and Steam Crisp Corn.








Another perfect day out today! Sunny and about 73 degrees. Was up and around early this morning, made Breakfast, exercised, Kroger for Mom, Bank, and got the car washed. Cleaned up the grill for later and got the cart out and enjoyed the sunshine, very good day! For dinner tonight I prepared Grilled Blackened Mahi Mahi w/ Brown Rice and Steam Crisp Corn.








Got the wire fish grill basket out, which I love using, Had the Mahi Mahi in the freezer, laid it in the fridge overnight to thaw. To prepare the Mahi Mahi I’ll need a tablespoon or so of Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter and Zatarain’s Blackened Seasoning. Preheated the grill up on high I rinsed the Grouper off and patted dry. Melted the 1 Tbsp butter in a microwave about 15 seconds and brushed both sides of the Mahi Mahi with the melted butter. I then coated both sides with a generous amount of the rub. Then I got the Fish Basket out and sprayed it with Pam Spray, loaded the Fish in the grill basket. Placed my Mahi Mahi on the preheated grill and closed the lid. Grilled for only 3 minutes and then flipped it and grilled another 3 minutes. Use a watch and keep a very close eye on it, do not over cook! The result some beautifully delicious Blackened Mahi Mahi! I topped it with a Crushed Pineapple, Chopped Jalapeno, Cilantro, and Lime Juice mix. Mahi Mahi pairs with Pineapple perfectly. Way too long since I've had this and it is Delicious!









For side dishes I prepared some Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain Brown Rice. I used the single serve microwave Rice, just heat for 45 seconds and it’s done! I also heated up a can of Green Giant Steam Crisp Sweet Yellow and White Corn. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
