Preparation

Fish Preparation

1. Season the Fish

In a large bowl, season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Ensure all sides are coated evenly. Allow the fish to marinate for about 15 minutes.

Batter

2. Prepare Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the mixture is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Frying

3. Heat Oil

In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

4. Fry the Fish

Dip each marinated Mahi Mahi fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Toppings

5. Assemble the Dish

On a serving plate, place the fried Mahi Mahi fillets. Top each fillet with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
