Mahi tacos
Courtesy of Benny hudson's Seafood Market
Ingredients: Serves 4
1 ½ lbs of mahi filets (usually ¾ to 1” thick)
Blackening seasoning
Shredded lettuce or pre shredded coleslaw mix
Shredded Mexican cheese blend
Pico de gallo
Sliced avocado
Sour cream
Cilantro for topping
Fresh lime
Taco shells
Directions
If mahi filets are skin on-heat a skillet with olive oil on high. When olive oil is starting to marbalize add the filets skin side down for about 10 seconds.
Remove from heat and use a fork to remove the skin-should come off easily and all in one piece.
Coat mahi filets with blackening seasoning. Place on hot grill or frying pan. Start on high heat to sear the seasoning and then back down to medium high heat. Cook till meat is no longer pink-turning ½ way thru. Usually 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
Flake filets and top with a squeeze of lime juice.
Assemble tacos with the remaining ingredients.
Grab a margarita and enjoy!
