Fish Tacos

Sweet & Spicy Jerk Sauce

Method

Fish Tacos

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mahi Mahi

    Rub the Mahi Mahi fillets with jerk seasoning evenly on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the fish

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned Mahi Mahi and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Warm the tortillas

    In a separate pan or directly over the flame, warm the flour tortillas for a few seconds on each side until pliable.

Pineapple Slaw

  1. 4

    Mix the slaw ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, diced pineapple, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 5

    Dress the slaw

    Drizzle lime juice and sprinkle salt over the slaw mixture. Toss to combine well.

Sweet & Spicy Jerk Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine the sauce ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix mayo, jerk seasoning, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.

Jamaican Rice & Peas

  1. 7

    Rinse the rice

    Rinse the long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 8

    Cook the rice

    In a medium pot, combine rinsed rice, kidney beans, coconut milk, water, chopped scallions, dried thyme, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  3. 9

    Fluff and serve

    Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.
