Get Creative with your Mahi Mahi!
Go with the flow, the craze for healthy, but deliciously tasty seafood. Mahi mahi fits the bill. Caught in tropical waters, especially Florida down into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, this fish fits many recipes with ease and grace. Delicately sweet with a firm flaky texture, mahi mahi soaks in spices and sauces majestically. With such a firm texture, it doesn’t tend to get mushy, but keeps its form through the heaviest sauce. Some consider it “sensational.” Diners get excited over its appeal and equally thrilled over the fresh taste.
Try out a Mahi Mahi Taco
Mediterranean inspirations complement the Mexican traditions. Let the olive oil tenderize and the curry stand up and take notice. Greek yogurt and fresh garden lettuce and vine ripe tomatoes add a hearty freshness to this meal as a perfect addition to a crab feast or alone with a cream of crab soup.
- Get your ingredients ready. (4) mahi mahi fillets, (8) soft wheat tacos, (½ cup) shredded sharp cheddar, (½ cup) diced vine ripe tomatoes, (1½ cup) chopped iceberg, (1) lime zest, (1) sliced avocado, (1½ cup) Greek yogurt, (1 tsp.) extra virgin olive oil, (to taste) salt & pepper, (1 tsp.) paprika, (1 tsp.) curry, (1 tsp.) dried oregano, (1/4 cup) chopped chives.
- Get Creative. Spray a nonstick cast iron pan with cooking spray. Preheat it to medium/high. Season each thawed fillet with salt & pepper to taste.
- Mix up the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk paprika, curry, oregano, chives, garlic, and olive oil.
- Cook the fish. In a hot pan for about 3 to 4 minutes sauté on one side and then flip for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other. Allow the fish to develop an opaqueness with a slight golden brown. Then pour the sauce over the fish and spread it thoroughly.
- Prepare for the Tacos. Chop the fish into bite sizes and disperse a half fillet on the taco shell. Cover it with iceberg, tomatoes, cheddar, and a squeeze of lime. Scoop a generous side of yogurt as a creamy complement to the zesty fish. Serve swiftly to maximize the enjoyment in the hot fish and cool garden favorites. Eat with assurance. Mahi mahi is loaded with Vitamin B, perfect for heart health!
