Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ Teaspoon Onion Powder
½ Teaspoon Seafood Seasoning (something similar to Old Bay)
1 Pound Mahi Mahi Fillets, patted dry
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
8 Corn Tortillas
8 Ounces Fish Taco Slaw
4 Ounces Fish Taco Sauce
Lemon Wedges

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, and seafood seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the fish on both sides with the seasoning mix and press gently to ensure it sticks.
  • Heat a medium skillet over low to medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter melts, add the fish. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. An instant read thermometer should read 145°F when inserted into the thickest part of the fish. The fish should be opaque and flake easily when done.
  • Remove the fish from the pan to a waiting plate. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into large pieces. Divide the fish evenly between the tortillas. Top with fish taco sauce and slaw.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Storage is not recommended.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the pineapple sauce:
2 cups chopped peeled and cored fresh pineapple
1/2 yellow bell pepper, halved lengthwise again and seeded
1 fresh red jalapeño, halved lengthwise and seeded
Juice of 1 lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the slaw:
1/2 head white cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
1 bunch red radishes, greens trimmed and radishes sliced thin
1 bunch cilantro, stems reserved for another use and leaves thinly sliced or minced
For the dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
3 chipotles in adobo, minced, plus 4 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the fish:
1 pound mahi mahi fillet, skinned
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 corn or flour tortillas
cilantro sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the pineapple sauce:
  • In a grill pan over moderately high heat, sear and soften the pineapple, bell pepper, and jalapeño, turning occasionally with tongs. Transfer the pineapple, bell pepper, and jalapeño to a blender and add the lime juice, then purée the mixture. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper and keep at room temperature.
  • Prepare the slaw:
  • In a large bowl toss together the cabbages, the radishes, and the cilantro.
  • Prepare the dressing:
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients and season it with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Prepare the fish and warm the tortillas:
  • Prepare a grill for moderately high heat.
  • While the grill is heating, cut the fish crosswise into 1-inch wide strips. In a small bowl whisk together the paprika and the cayenne and sprinkle it evenly all over the strips. Season the strips well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Divide the tortillas into 2 stacks and wrap each stack in foil. Warm the tortillas on the grill, turning once or twice, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove the packets from the grill and keep warm in a kitchen towel.
  • Oil the grill rack, then grill the fish, covered, turning it once, until it is opaque and just cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the fish to a platter and keep it warm, covered.
  • Assemble the tacos:
  • Drizzle the dressing over the slaw and toss it well. Divide the fish among the warm tortillas and top it with the slaw. Garnish the tacos with the cilantro sprigs and serve them with the pineapple sauce on the side.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Canola or vegetable oil, for brushing on the griddle
16 white corn tortillas
1 tablespoon chile powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Juice of 1 lime
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds flaky white fish such as mahi mahi or cod, cut into 4-ounce fillets
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch kosher salt
Shredded purple cabbage, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for serving
Pico de Gallo, recipe follows, for serving
2 ripe large tomatoes, finely diced
1 white onion, finely diced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only, minced
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the tortillas: Brush a hot griddle with oil and heat the tortillas on each side to brown them up a bit. Wrap them in foil to keep hot until it's time to eat.
  • For the fish: In a bowl, combine the chile powder, garlic salt, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss the mixture with the fish in a shallow container and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • For the chipotle sauce: In the meantime, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, honey, chipotles, lime juice and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a container (I like to store it in a squeeze bottle) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Put the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and flake with a fork.
  • To build each taco, spoon some fish onto 2 stacked tortillas (see Cook's Note). Top with some chipotle sauce, cabbage, cilantro and Pico de Gallo.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • To ensure the freshest fish, look for mahi-mahi that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • For a spicier slaw, add an extra chipotle pepper to the dressing.
  • Be sure to roast the pineapple until it is caramelized and slightly browned. This will give the sauce a delicious smoky flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make the roasted pineapple sauce, you can substitute your favorite store-bought salsa.

Conclusion:

These mahi-mahi fish tacos are a delicious and easy meal that are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The fish is cooked to perfection, the slaw is crisp and refreshing, and the roasted pineapple sauce adds a touch of sweetness and smokiness. Serve these tacos with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, sour cream, or salsa, and enjoy!
