Simply Seasoned Seared Mahi Mahi

I made this the other night and Presley ate almost two fillets. She loved it!

4 Mahi fillets
3 T canola oil
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1-2 t flour

place oil in large non stick pan over high heat.
Preheat until there are ripples in the oil but before it begins smoking

Liberally season all sides of fish with salt, pepper and then sprinkle a very small amount of flour over tops and bottoms of each fillet, tubbing in the flour and seasoning to evenly distribute. (The addition of flour will help for a crust and prevent fish from sticking to the pan)

Place fish in pan, sear for 3-4 minutes or until golden crust has formed and the fish releases from the pan. Flip and cook another 3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from pan and let fish rest for 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Hint: Fish will stick to pan until the moment it is ready to be flipped
