Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Mango (ripe, diced)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 small Jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil onto both sides of each fillet and generously sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fish, pressing gently to help it adhere.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned halibut fillets to the pan. Sear each side for 3-4 minutes until blackened and cooked through, with the fish just flaking when tested with a fork. Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

While the fish is cooking, prepare the mango chutney. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and chopped jalapeño. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5

Serve the blackened halibut fillets warm, topped with a generous spoonful of mango chutney. Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
