LET'S GET COOKING!
Combine all aioli ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Let rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Aioli can be made ahead of time. Prepare rice according to the instructions on the package.
Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Let the pan become hot before proceeding. Place filets face down and sear for 90 seconds. Flip and sear for an additional 90 seconds. Remove from the heat and set on a cutting board to rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
Slice filets against the natural grain and serve over rice drizzled with soy sauce and aioli. Garnish with jalapeno slices and lime wedges.
