Best 8 Cilantro Lime Mahi Mahi Tacos Recipes

CILANTRO LIME FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Sauté onion until translucent about 4 to 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Mix well.
• Place fish on the skillet and cook until the flesh starts to flake.
• Add jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the fish with the spoon to get everything mixed well; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat tortillas on a skillet or directly over the flame of the burner a minute or 2 on each side to warm.
• Serve a little over 1/4 cup of fish on each warmed tortilla topped with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

MAHI MAHI TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, and seafood seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the fish on both sides with the seasoning mix and press gently to ensure it sticks.
• Heat a medium skillet over low to medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter melts, add the fish. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. An instant read thermometer should read 145°F when inserted into the thickest part of the fish. The fish should be opaque and flake easily when done.
• Remove the fish from the pan to a waiting plate. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into large pieces. Divide the fish evenly between the tortillas. Top with fish taco sauce and slaw.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Storage is not recommended.

MAHI-MAHI WITH GARLIC-LIME OIL

Steps:

• Sprinkle the mahi-mahi generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and cook until it releases from the grill and has grill marks, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes more.
• Divide the fish among 4 plates and spoon some of the garlic-lime oil over top. Serve with lime wedges and cooked white rice and the remaining sauce on the side. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.
