Okay, so I’ve proven you one approach to cook dinner up the extremely fast-growing, colourful, and scrumptious mahi mahi, right here’s one other one. Mahi Fish Tacos is a scrumptious possibility for utilizing smaller items of mahi mahi from south of the border. Whereas a few of the fish we caught off the weed line on the different facet of the Gulf Stream had been bigger mahi, we did get just a few smaller items that produced thinner fillets. That are excellent to season up and sear up actual fast in a sizzling pan for tacos. This recipe is a bit more concerned than the Mahi Matecumbe, provided that you make it this manner.

- 2 Serrano Pepper
- 1 Onion
- 1 Avocado
- Cabbage
- 4 limes
- 1 pink onion

The very first thing we have to make is the Guacamole Salsa. That is completely different than the guacamole you might be most likely aware of, the primary ingredient in that is tomatillo as a substitute of straight avocado. So it’s thinner in consistency and extra vibrant in style. Begin off by taking a torch to the tomatillos and serrano pepper, you need to char the skin like this for the perfect taste. When you don’t have a torch simply put in on a fuel burner. When you don’t have both you possibly can skip this step, whereas not optimum it should nonetheless work with out the char.
Subsequent, take all of the charred veg and place them in a small saucepan of boiling water and simply boil them on excessive for the subsequent 10-Quarter-hour till they’re all cooked via. You possibly can inform when they’re executed when the colour turns right into a extra muted inexperienced over the entire tomatillo.
As soon as the tomatillos and serrano are executed, pop them right into a blender. There add in the entire peeled onion, halved. A fistful of cilantro, the avocado, a lime’s price of juice, and salt and pepper. Then mix all of that collectively until easy. Alter it to your style as you go, including in additional lime, salt, and cilantro as wanted. As soon as it’s at the place you prefer it put it away in an hermetic container within the fridge for later. This salsa will likely be good for a few week.
Subsequent topping to prep is the pickled pink onions, thinly slice one entire pink onion and place them right into a container. Then take 1/2 of a deseeded serrano pepper and cube it up finely. Then add that into the container as nicely. Add in some white pepper, be aware white pepper is completely different from black pepper. The flavour is extra pungent and fewer floral.
Juice the 2 limes right into a bowl, add in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1tsp of oregano, and three tablespoons of white wine vinegar. Combine until the salt is dissolved. Pour it over the pink onions then combine the onions until all of it’s lined within the pickling brine. Put away within the fridge until later.
Now the salsa and pickled onions are executed being prepped, begin prepping the fish for the mahi fish tacos. Minimize the fillets into about finger-sized items, that method they’ll be a superb measurement to suit contained in the tortilla later. As soon as the fish is all reduce to measurement, season it up with no matter seasoning you want, I simply went with Outdated Trustworthy creole seasoning. Put the fish apart to let the salt work its method in. Subsequent end up the prep for the mahi fish tacos, thinly slice up some cabbage, reduce the limes into wedges, and chop up some extra cilantro. When you end that up you can begin cooking up your fish.
I’m doing nothing fancy right here, simply fry them up in a pan until properly seared. As soon as they’re executed pull them out and place on a warmed plate. When cooking the mahi don’t overcrowd the pan, you’ll drop it’s temperature an excessive amount of and never produce a superb sear. If you are cooking the fish have one other pan on the facet toasting up the corn tortillas as you go. When you actually can’t stand corn tortillas you need to use flour tortillas, however I choose you for that. If utilizing corn tortillas go two tortillas per taco, if flour use just one tortilla per taco.
Now that the Mahi is all executed you possibly can assemble your tacos, place the fish down on the tortillas first then add the whole lot you need on high. Whereas I didn’t point out it earlier, a little bit of crema(kinda like Mexican bitter cream/creme fraiche) and crumbled queso fresco can be an amazing topping selection. After getting all of your Mahi fish tacos assembled serve with some tortilla chips, extra of the guacamole salsa, and a pleasant Mexican beer.
