A California classic, these tacos rely on quality fish—and a boost from a dry rub—to set them apart. Buy the best seafood you can find, and serve the extra pico de gallo with chips.
Ingredients:
5 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
4 scallions, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, minced
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sour cream
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1-pound mahi-mahi fillet
vegetable oil (for brushing)
8 6 corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions:
1. For pico de gallo: Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. For crema: Whisk cream and sour cream in a small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
