- 1 pound mahi mahi

Jalapeno Cilantro Taco Sauce
Combine garlic, pickled jalapenos, lime juice, yogurt and salt in a NutriBullet or food processor* and blend until you have a bright, creamy sauce.
Crunchy Slaw
In a large bowl combine cabbage, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt. Gently toss everything together and set aside.
Fish
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin from the fish.
Cut mahi mahi in half horizontally and then slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
Season both side of the fish with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
Heat a large non-stick skillet and add olive oil to lightly coat the pan. Place fish in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side or until the fish is beginning to turn opaque from the bottom up.
Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Give the fish a big squish of fresh lime and transfer to a plate.
Taco Assembly
Heat tortillas, one at a time, over an open flame on your stove top to give them a charred flavor.
Layer slaw on the bottom of the tortilla. Top with a few pieces of fish and a drizzle of taco sauce. Serve and enjoy!
- I prefer a NutriBullet for the sauce. You can use a food processor or blender but it may not pulverize all of the ingredients.
- You can prep the taco sauce and slaw ahead of time to make meal time even easier.
- Serve with sliced radishes and extra cilantro for even more flavor and texture.
