- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley for garnish for garnish
preheat oven to 350 degrees
mix flour and blackened seasoning together and press the top of each fillet into the seasoning mix (one side only) completely coating the mahi
heat a saute pan and add just enough olive oil to the pan to keep the mahi from sticking.
place season side down in the oil and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes over a medium high heat

Pineapple lobster sauce
in a saute pan add a little olive oil
Add in lobster, peppers and saute until lobster is almost cooked (pieces of lobster should be small enough it should only take 3-4 minutes to cook) keep everything moving so nothing sticks
add in pineapple, orange juice and chicken stock and allow to reduce (you may want to take out the lobster if it looks fully cooked)
add half of chopped scallions and butter rolled into flour (beurre manie) to thicken the sauce
add lobster back to pan (if you removed it earlier) and bring back to temperature
Serve mahi with lobster sauce and garnish with remaining scallions and chopped parsley
