Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield about 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/4 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon dill seed
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 pounds fillet mahi mahi with skin
1/4 cup peanut oil
Mini taco shells
Pico de Gallo, store bought
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Combine all of the dry ingredients for the rub and mix well. Set aside. Brush the soy sauce over the flesh side of the fillet. Let set in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove from refrigerator and brush with the oil. Sprinkle with desired amount of dry rub. Let stand for 15 minutes before grilling.
  • Cook the fillet with the flesh side facing the heat source. Cook until fork tender or 8 to 10 minutes or until just opaque. Cooking time will depend on how hot the heat source is. Let stand for about 5 minutes after removing from the heat. Flake the fish with a fork into a taco shell and top with Pico de Gallo. Add cilantro for garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest mahi-mahi possible. Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly sweet smell.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can also bake or pan-fry the mahi-mahi. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or seasoning blend to give the mahi-mahi extra flavor. Some good options include lemon-herb, chili-lime, or Cajun seasoning.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the mahi-mahi from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the mahi-mahi until it is opaque and flaky. This should take about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Serve the mahi-mahi tacos immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cabbage, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Air fryer mahi-mahi tacos are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. And because they're made in the air fryer, they're also healthier than traditional fried tacos.

So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal, give air fryer mahi-mahi tacos a try. You won't be disappointed!
