Directions
Preheat grill.
Brush fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Remove from grill and drizzle with some of the Citrus Vinaigrette. Let rest 5 minutes and then flake with a fork.
Fill each fried tortilla with some of the mahi, top with the Red Cabbage Slaw, Tomato and Avocado Salsa, and drizzle with Charred Pineapple-habanero Hot Sauce.
Citrus Vinaigrette:
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 heaping tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup canola oil
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend for 1 minute.
Red Cabbage Slaw:
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 head red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 large carrot, cut into fine julienne
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- Salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Tomato and Avocado Salsa:
- 4 plum tomatoes, chopped
- 2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 serrano chile, finely diced
- 1 to 2 limes, juiced
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Gently combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Charred Pineapple-Habanero Hot Sauce:
- 1 ripe pineapple, preferably Golden pineapple
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 container frozen pineapple puree, thawed
- 2 habanero chiles, chopped
- 1 cup rice wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- Honey
Heat a grill to high or preheat the broiler. Place the whole pineapple (do not peel it) on the grill and grill until the entire surface is completely black and charred. Remove from grill and let cool slightly. Peel the pineapple, remove the core and coarsely chop the flesh.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add the onion and cook until soft. Add the pineapple, pineapple puree, habanero and vinegar and cook until the mixture is completely soft, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and honey, to taste. Strain the mixture into a bowl.

Very delicious recipe, worth the extra time to make the sides. It has the perfect combination of salty, sweet, spicy, and sour. I omitted the onions and the cilantro because my husband and I don't like either, also I added some lime juice to the slaw to help balance the acidity. Perfect!

I made the avocado salsa, mahi, and the citrus vinaigrette only. Did not make tacos but had the fish with the toppings. It was incredibly delicious. Next time I will make the pineapple hot sauce and maybe have it with shrimp. 5 stars!!!
