Ingredients

For the tacos:

  • 1 lb. mahi mahi
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lime juice optional

Instructions

  • Start by making the mango salsa: combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • Next, make the fish marinade: whisk 1 tbsp olive oil, along with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, chipotle powder, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Place the fish on a plate and pat it dry with a paper towel. Brush the seasoning mixture over each piece of fish.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fish and cook for 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Last, assemble the tacos: cut the fish and divide it amongst the tortillas. Top with the mango salsa, along with any other toppings of choice (like avocado and cilantro). Enjoy!
