  • (c) avocado
  • (d) cilantro
  • (e) mahi mahi fillet, marinated chayote
  • (f) jalapeno, red onion
  • (g) flour tortilla packs

Equipment Needed

  • grill or skillet
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • scissors
  • seasoning plate
  • serving spoon
  • cutting board & knife
  • tongs
  • serving platter
  • fork
  • dish towel or paper towel

Recipe Directions

  1. For best results, take the fish out of the refrigerator 5 minutes before starting to cook. If you skip this step, you may need to cook the fish longer than this recipe card indicates.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the savoy cabbage (a), pickled vegetables (b) and half of the ginger lime dressing (c). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables with dressing.
  3. Cut the avocado (d) in half lengthwise by piercing the avocado until you hit the pit. Then run your knife along one side. Turn the avocado over and repeat. To open the avocado
  4. hold the avocado in both hands twisting each hand in opposite directions. Remove the pit. Use a paring knife to cut half inch thick slices, not cutting through the skin. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado slices out. Insert the edge of the spoon between the skin and the flesh of the avocado and scoop all the way around. Place the avocado slices on a serving platter. Pick the cilantro leaves (e) off the stems and add to the platter.
  5. Cut open the package of mahi mahi (f) and place on a plate. Drizzle 1/2 tsp of oil over each piece of fish, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes When the pan has warmed up, add 1 tbsp of olive oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the mahi mahi presentation side (the nice-looking side of the fish) down in the pan. Sear the fish for 4 minutes, then flip over and sear the other side for 30 seconds.
  6. Place the cooked fish into a clean mixing bowl (not the one you used for the cabbage). Add the red onion and jalapeño (g) and the other half of the lime dressing to the mixing bowl. Gently flake the fish with a fork by twisting the fork to break the fish apart. Mix the fish with the onion and jalapeno. Taste and add salt and pepper if you wish. Add the fish to the serving platter.
  7. Remove the tortillas (h) from the package and wrap them in a dish towel or paper towel. Heat in a microwave for 30-60 seconds or until they are warm.
  8. We recommend letting each person assemble their own taco with the fish, avocado, cabbage slaw, and cilantro.
