Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds skinless mahi mahi fillets, cut into 3-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons achiote or annatto paste (or 1 tablespoon chili powder)
Juice of 1 lime
2 oranges (1 juiced; 1 halved and sliced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 scallions, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
8 sprigs thyme
6 bay leaves
Corn tortillas, warmed, and assorted toppings, for serving

Steps:

  • Put a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet; arrange the fish fillets side by side on the foil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Combine the achiote paste, lime juice, orange juice, oregano, cumin, scallions, chile powder, vinegar and brown sugar in a blender; pulse until smooth. Pour the mixture over the fish and turn to coat using tongs. Scatter the thyme sprigs and bay leaves over the fish, then top with orange slices. Cover the fish with another piece of foil and crimp the edges to tightly seal. Marinate in the refrigerator, 1 to 4 hours.
  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Transfer the fish to the oven and bake until tender, about 25 minutes. Remove the herbs and orange slices. Serve the fish in tortillas with assorted toppings.
  • Trim 2 bunches spring onions; halve lengthwise, if large. Cook in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until tender and blackened, 5 to 8 minutes. Cut into pieces and sprinkle with lime juice and salt.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my tacos didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The fish was a bit dry and the marinade didn't seem to have much flavor.

The tacos were good, but they could have used a bit more flavor. Maybe some more spices or herbs in the marinade would have helped.

I wasn't a fan of the citrus marinade. It was a bit too sour for my taste.

These tacos were a bit too fishy for me. I think I would have preferred a different type of fish.
