1. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Generously brush cooled Rhum and Pepper Paint on curved side of each fish fillet. In an extra-large cast-iron skillet heat oil over high heat. Add fish, paint side down; cook about 2 minutes or until dark, shaking pan a few times to prevent fish from sticking. Carefully turn fish, paint side up. Transfer skillet to a 450-degree F. oven. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, heat Mango-Habanero Mojo until warm. Spoon about 1/2 cup mojo onto each plate. Place fish on top of mojo. If desired, drizzle with a little of the remaining paint. Serve with Sweet Panfried Plantains and lime wedges. Makes 4 servings.
- Make Ahead Tip Prepare Mango-Habanero Mojo; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Prepare Rhum and Pepper Paint; cover and let stand at room temperature for up to 6 hours.
