Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds mahi mahi, skin removed
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 fresh lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • Salsa Verde, recipe follows.
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Cut the fish into 1-inch strips and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with lime juice.

With a rag or paper towel, grease the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Place fish on grill gently; and cook for 3 minutes on each side, turning carefully with tongs.

On the cooler outer edges of the grill place the tortillas to warm them. Transfer the warmed tortillas to a plate or a wide shallow bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel. Fold the edges of the towel over tortillas to keep them warm.

To assemble, divide the fish among tortillas and top with salsa verde and avocado slices. Squeeze lime juice over the avocado and roll up the tortillas.

Salsa Verde:

Recipe courtesy Bobby Deen

  • 1 1/2 pound tomatillos
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • Sal and freshly ground black pepper

Remove papery husks from tomatillos and rinse well. Cut in half and place cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place under a broiler for about 5 to 7 minutes to lightly blacken the skin.

Place tomatillos, lime juice, onions, cilantro, jalapeno peppers and sugar in a food processor or blender and pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Serve with chips or as a salsa accompaniment to Mexican dishes.

    This is one of the best! I do have to admit, I can't eat much of anything with jalapeno peppers anymore, so I use other fresh peppers when a recipe calls for jalapenos. I used Anaheim (or New Mexico green chile peppers instead and removed the seeds for this one. I don't eat sugar anymore, so I used a few drops of Stevia in the salsa. Yummy fajitas! I don't really need to wrap this fish in a tortilla, it would taste great just off the grill with the salsa and fresh avocado!

    I don't know how to Rate this. Spicy has sooooo many meanings it is meaningless.

    Can anyone name twenty spices? Yes and probably more.

    Living on the Atlantic Coast we don't have mahi mahi, we have dolphin.
