Blackened Halibut with Mango Chutney

We're getting fannnnnncy over here.
I usually don't post about dinner because I don't have time to actually take pictures at dinner time with 2 screaming children and a very hungry husband. I really don't even get a chance to plate the food. I just pour some onto the highchair tray and Adam just eats out of the pan like an animal. It's not a pretty sight. But this week my mom came over to Lilyshop so we were able to knock out a dinner and photograph it before all the animals came in and ate everything. Nom nom nom.

4 (6-ounce) halibut filets
2 teaspoons canola oil

Mango Chutney
2 tbs diced red onion

Directions
1. Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl for the Halibut rub.
