Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 6 (3 ounce) fillets mahi mahi fillets

  • cup sour cream

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 dash cayenne pepper

  • 1 large mango – peeled, seeded and diced

  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple

  • 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, minced

  • 6 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Cook the fillets in the hot oil until the fish is golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.

  3. To assemble, place a cooked mahi-mahi fillet into the center of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.
