Chili Lime Mahi with Blackened Broccoli

INGREDIENTS
3 cup broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
2 T water
3 T fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 T honey, preferably local
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes*
1 T chili powder
1/2 T ground cumin
1/2 T garlic powder
1/2 T Salt
1/4 T ground black pepper
2 - 6 oz. mahi fillets
*Use 1/4 T crushed red pepper flakes for less spicy results

DIRECTIONS
Place the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or just until crisp-tender. (Cook time will vary by unit, so check after 2 minutes and adjust cook time accordingly. Do not overcook). Remove from microwave and transfer broccoli to a strainer to drain. Set aside.
While the broccoli is in the microwave, whisk together the lime juice, cilantro, one-quarter cup olive oil, honey, red pepper flakes, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the mahi fillets dry with a paper towel and add to the hot skillet. Brush the tops and sides generously with the chili lime sauce while it cooks. After 4-5 minutes, carefully flip the fillets and brush the exposed surfaces with additional sauce.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or just until the fillets are cooked through. Remove from heat and transfer the fillets to a plate and set aside.
Toss the steamed broccoli with the remaining chili lime sauce and transfer to the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is nicely browned and caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes.
