Description

Cajun-spiced fish fillets are grilled and topped with a homemade chipotle aioli for extra kick in this mahi mahi burger recipe for two that's perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

2 (5 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
2 (2 ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns
2 thick slices fresh tomato
4 leaves romaine lettuce

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Season mahi mahi fillets with lemon juice, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3 Cook on the preheated grill until white and flaky, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 137 degrees F (58 degrees C).
4 Meanwhile, split and toast hamburger buns. Mix mayonnaise and adobo sauce together in a small bowl and spread on toasted buns.
5 Place mahi mahi fillets on buns. Garnish with tomatoes and lettuce leaves.
