Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mahi-Mahi

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the Mahi-Mahi fillets with blackening seasoning on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mahi-Mahi

    Add a little oil to the skillet and sear the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice blackened crust.

  3. 3

    Make the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced red cabbage with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Toss to combine and set aside.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a piece of blackened Mahi-Mahi, top with red cabbage slaw, drizzle with sour cream remoulade, and finish with aji amarillo sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
