Ingredients:

For the Mahi Mahi:.

4 Mahi Mahi fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the nacho crust:.

2 cups crushed nacho chips
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly onto both sides of the Mahi Mahi fillets.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Mahi Mahi fillets and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.

4. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed nacho chips, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

5. Dip each Mahi Mahi fillet into the melted butter, making sure to coat both sides.

6. Press the butter-coated fillets into the nacho crust mixture, gently pressing to adhere the crust to the fish. Be sure to coat both sides of each fillet evenly.

7. Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or brush with additional melted butter for a golden and crispy crust.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden, and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

9. Once done, remove from the oven and allow the Mahi Mahi fillets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
