Heart Healthy Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mahi Mahi fillets
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 cayenne seasoning to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by marinating the Mahi Mahi fillets. In a bowl, mix together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne and black pepper. Coat the fish well with this mixture and let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes. You don’t need long—fish soaks up flavor quickly.
- Preheat your Blackstone or grill to medium-high heat. If you don’t have an outdoor grill or Blackstone, a grill pan works just as well. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking. Place the Mahi Mahi on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Note: I prefer to make these on the griddle to ensure it doesn't fall through.
- While the fish is cooking, warm up your tortillas. You can do this directly on the grill for a bit of char, or in a skillet on the stovetop. Wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm until you’re ready to assemble.
- Flake the grilled Mahi Mahi into bite-sized pieces. Take a warm tortilla, add fish and your favorite toppings. I used my Easy Low Sodium Spicy Avocado Tomato Salsa.
- Note: use corn tortillas for a lower sodium choice.
