Mahi-Mahi
2 cups Mahi Mahi Fillets (diced)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 diced jalapeno (optional)
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Pineapple Salsa
1 cup fresh or canned pineapple diced.
3 tbsp diced red onion
3 tbsp purple cabbage (optional)
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 tsp chili powder
Chipotle Crema
1/2 of 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (found in a can)
1/4 cup mayo (I use chosen foods avocado oil mayo)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp lime juice
Combine all of the ingredients for the Mahi-Mahi into a jar and then pour into a large ziplock bag. Add in the fillets and let marinate for 15 minutes.
While fish is marinating, combine all ingredients for pineapple salsa into a bowl. Set aside.
In a food processor or a small bowl, combine chipotle crema ingredients. If using a bowl, chop the adobo pepper finely before combining with other ingredients. Add more garlic or lime juice according to taste.
Heat large pan onto a medium-high heat and add in marinated fish. Cook for 3 mins on each side until fish flakes apart with a fork.
To serve: lightly fry tortillas, add a smear of the chipotle crema, mahi mahi, pineapple salsa and fresh avocado. Enjoy!
