"Oven" Blackened Mahi Mahi

2 Mahi Mahi filets
olive oil
blackened seasoning

Blackened Seasoning Recipe:

1 T. smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. onion powder
1 T. garlic powder
1 T. cayenne pepper
2/3 T. black pepper
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano

Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper. Place the filets on the baking sheet and rub both sides with some olive oil then sprinkle (liberally) some of the seasoning on one side, rub it in and then do the same with the other side. Bake for 8-10 minutes (the fish should feel firm when you touch the top of it), then move under the broiler and broil for 1 minute. Remove and serve with a side of rice.

6 to 7 cups of chopped cabbage, uncooked

Combine butter, flour, pepper, salt, milk and cream of mushroom soup in a saucepan on top of the stove. Bring to a slow boil. Remove and stir in shredded cheese until melted. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Mix the chopped onion and cabbage together. Layer half the cabbage and onion in the bottom of the dish; add half the cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle on 1 cup of the cooked ham. Pour on half the cheese soup mixture. Make another layer ending with the soup. Cover with foil and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 60 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle on bread crumbs and more cheese if desired. Return to oven until cheese melts. ( I just put it under the broiler for a few minutes). Makes 10 to 12 servings.
