Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced mango, avocado, tomato, red onion, red bell pepper, and parsley. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Whisk together the canola oil, brown sugar, lime juice, cider vinegar, and hot pepper sauce in a separate small bowl. Pour over the mango mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir gently to combine. (2 minutes)

03

Step

For optimal flavor, cover the salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

04

Step

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). (10 minutes)

05

Step

Warm the taco shells in the preheated oven until they are crisp and slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Season the mahi-mahi pieces with the ground black pepper, paprika, and salt, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the seasoned mahi-mahi to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Cook the mahi-mahi for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to maintain its tenderness. (6 minutes)

09

Step

Gently flake the cooked mahi-mahi into smaller pieces with a fork. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Assemble the tacos: Fill each warmed taco shell with the flaked mahi-mahi and generously top with the chilled mango salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors! (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the mahi-mahi instead of pan-frying. A light char adds a wonderful smoky note.
Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce in the salsa to suit your spice preference.
If you don't have mahi-mahi, other firm white fish such as cod or snapper would also work well.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch of freshness and creaminess.
