Easy Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos are a light and flavorful way to enjoy seafood, bringing a burst of freshness to your plate with minimal effort. Mahi Mahi, a firm, mild white fish, is perfect for tacos because it holds up well to grilling or pan-searing. Paired with crunchy slaw, a zesty lime crema, and warm tortillas, these tacos are a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. They make for a quick and healthy dinner option that’s loaded with vibrant flavors and satisfying textures.
Ingredients:
- 4 Mahi Mahi fillets (about 1 lb total)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges, for serving
For Lime Crema:
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture onto the Mahi Mahi fillets.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the Mahi Mahi fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the heat and break into bite-sized pieces.
- While the fish cooks, prepare the lime crema by whisking together the sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
- Assemble the tacos by placing the Mahi Mahi pieces onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, a drizzle of lime crema, and fresh cilantro.
