TOTAL TIME
1
Heat a pan on medium heat and gently toast the kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, dried thyme, fresh oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
FISH
2
Rub the cooled spice mixture evenly onto the red snapper filets.
3
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil on medium high heat. Add the fish filets, flesh side down, and sear without moving until the filets form a dark crust, about 6 minutes.
4
Turn the filets onto their skin side and press with the back of a spatula to ensure the skin makes even contact with the pan. Continue to cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 3 minutes.
MANGO SALSA
5
In a bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped onion, bell pepper, chili, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir well to mix.
SERVING

Serve the blackened filets on individual plates, topped with a generous spoonful of the mango salsa.
