Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ Teaspoon Onion Powder
½ Teaspoon Seafood Seasoning (something similar to Old Bay)
1 Pound Mahi Mahi Fillets, patted dry
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
8 Corn Tortillas
8 Ounces Fish Taco Slaw
4 Ounces Fish Taco Sauce
Lemon Wedges

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.

Soft Mahi Mahi Tacos with Ginger-Lime Dressing image

A warm, flavorful dish filled with mahi-mahi, fresh fruit and an exotic ginger-lime dressing. Unique, yet tasteful, this recipe is inspired by the fresh seafood recipes in Mexico and Central America. I serve chips and salsa on the side.

GRILLED SCALLOPS TACOS AND CABBAGE SLAW WITH SPICY AVOCADO SAUCE



Grilled Scallops Tacos and Cabbage Slaw With Spicy Avocado Sauce image

This is surprisingly fast to make and since scallops are sliced 1/2 to 1/3 horizontally (depending on size), they grill up very quickly on the pan. If scallops are large, then 1 taco equals 1 large scallop. But, if you are using medium or smaller scallops, you may need to use more scallops per taco. I love the creaminess of this avocado sauce which goes really well with other grilled fish or seafood items too.

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large Hass avocado, roughly cut
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
1/2-1 large pickled jalapeno pepper, seeded (adjust heat to your liking)
1 tablespoon fresh limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large garlic clove
kosher salt
black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 limes, zest of or lemon
1 tablespoon limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
kosher salt
pepper
4 -6 large sea scallops (see description above)
olive oil
1/2 cup green cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped roughly
4 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • In a blender combine the sauce ingredients and process until smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
  • In a bowl whisk the marinade ingredients. Slice each scallops into 1/2 or 1/3 depending on size horizontally. Add the scallops to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl combine the cabbage, onion, and cilantro.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan and lightly coat with olive oil. Place the scallops without crowding and quickly sear the scallops on high heat until lightly browned, about 30 seconds to a minute. Turn over and brown on second side for 30 seconds to a minute. Do not overcook or they will toughen. Remove from pan.
  • Wipe the same frying pan and heat the tortillas both sides until warm about 15 seconds each side. Remove and continue with all the tortillas.
  • Fill each tortilla with some of the cabbage mixture and scallops. Top with the sauce and eat!
