1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 Tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
2 cups shredded purple cabbage

1 cup cooked black beans

Instructions
Heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get ready for cooking the mahi-mahi.
In a bowl, mix the spices for the slaw and let them sit so the flavors blend.
Combine the fish seasonings, coat the mahi-mahi with olive oil, then press the seasoning onto the fish.
Bake the fish for about 8 to 9 minutes, then place it under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to add a crispy finish.
While the fish cooks, mix together all the ingredients for the pineapple salsa.
Plate the baked mahi-mahi along with rice, cabbage slaw, pineapple salsa, black beans, fresh cilantro, and a lime squeeze for serving.
