MAHI*****Grilled Mahi-Mahi Tacos

06/04/14-Super for both. Must use corn tortillas ( brand) My only complaint was that they weren't hot enough, even though I used a whole jalapeño between the marinade and the salad - I guess I just got a really mild pepper.

Ingredients

• 6-8 oz. mahi mahi (I used two Costco fillets and had about 2/3's of one leftover)
• Kosher salt (to taste)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lime, juiced and zested
• 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
• 1/8 tsp. cumin
• 1/2 Tbsp. diced jalapeno
• 1 clove minced garlic
• pinch oregano
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 5 corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce tossed with red onion slices, chopped fresh cilantro, a pinch of hot pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tbsp. Olive Oil and the juice of half a lime
• 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
• Chipotle Lime Crema
• shredded light feta
• salsa or pico di gallo, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Place fish in a ziplock bag. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, jalapeno, garlic, oregano and cilantro and pour over the fish. Let marinate for about 20 minutes.

Remove the fish from the marinade and place onto a hot grill or hot, oiled grill pan (non-stick frying pan works well too). Grill the fish for 3 - 4 minutes on the first side (or until fish is just opaque) and then flip for 1 - 2 minutes and remove. Let rest for 5 minutes then flake the fish with a fork.

Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm at 350F for 20 minutes. Place fish on tortillas and garnish with remaining ingredients.
