Ingredients
1lbmahi mahi filets
2tablespoonblackening seasoning
2tablespoonextra virgin olive oil
½cupmayonnaise
1 ¾tablespoonfreshly squeezed lime juice
1teaspoonhot sauce
2cupsthinly sliced red cabbage
8flour tortillas
cilantro, optional
diced tomato, optional
avocado, optional
Instructions
Place mahi mahi filets on a plate and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with blackening seasoning. Flip filets over and do the same to the other side.
In a large saute pan, drizzle a bit of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add filets and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until opaque and easy to flake with a fork. *Note that some filets may cook faster than others depending on thickness and size.
Remove cooked filets to a plate and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice and hot sauce.
Pour about half of the mayo mixture into a larger bowl and add sliced cabbage. Toss to coat.
Heat flour tortillas as desired (see notes).
To assemble tacos, spread a little sauce on each tortilla. Top with slices of mahi mahi, cabbage slaw, and tomato, cilantro, and avocado (as desired). For added flavor, top with additional hot sauce or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Notes
Before assembling the tacos, I like to warm tortillas individually in a saute pan with a little bit of oil. You can also heat them in the microwave or just eat fresh tortillas out of the bag if you prefer.
