Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp spanish paprika
1 tbsp dried ancho chile powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp achiote powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp fresh coarse ground black pepper
2 large yellow bell peppers, grilled, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tbsp walnuts or 2 tbsp pine nuts
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly grated pepper
4 mahi mahi fillets, 8 oz each
4 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Combine all the rub ingredients in a small bowl.
To make the pesto, place peppers, garlic, walnuts or pine nuts, cilantro and cheese in a food processor and process until combined. With the motor running, add the oil and process until emulsified and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
Heat grill to high. Brush each fillet on both sides with oil. Rub 1 side of each fillet with 1 tablespoon of the barbecue rub and place on the grill rub side down and cook until slightly charred and a crust has formed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the fish over and grill for 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cooked to medium doneness. Top each fillet with a few tablespoons of the pesto.
