Believe me when I say this pan-fried mahi-mahi was done right when paired with our keto low carb sweet and spicy glaze! Mahi-mahi, also known as dorado, is a lean white meat fish with a firm texture. It’s tender and moist but also neutral so it accompanies many sauces very well! Super easy to make and perfect for your next dinner!

Ingredients
Mahi Mahi
- 8 oz Mahi Mahi about 2 fillets
- 1 tbsp Coconut Flour
- 1 tbsp Cooking Oil neutral, no taste
- 2 tbsp Macadamia Nuts
- 1 Stalk Green Onions
Sauce
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Swerve/Monkfruit
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- 1/2 tbsp Sugar Free Ketchup
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/8 tsp Xanthan Gum
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Add water and Swerve/Monkfruit into a small Teflon sauce pan and place on the heat until boiling. Once boiling, remove from heat.
- Next add in the Sriracha, Sugar-Free Ketchup, Garlic Powder and Xanthan Gum. Mix well until the Xanthan Gum dissolves and then transfer to a holding bowl.
- Add Roasted Macadamia Nuts into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and set aside. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the nuts into a plastic bag and use a rubber mallet to break into chunks.
- Finely chop green onions and set aside.
- Pat both sides of the mahi-mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and then sprinkle on Coconut Flour on both sides. Set aside once done.
- Add neutral oil to cast iron pan and place on high heat (please note that cast iron pan & handle gets VERY hot. So please wear mitts if you need to handle the pan). Once the oil starts to lightly smoke (about 2-3 minutes), carefully add mahi-mahi fillets into cast iron pan. Cover and cook for 1.5 minutes on one side and only 1 minute for the other. Once done, transfer to a serving plate.
- Sprinkle on macadamia nuts and green onions on top. Drizzle sauce to liking and enjoy hot!
