You guys… these Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos are EVERYTHING to me right now!

After living in Florida for almost 5 years, I’ve definitely had my fair share of fish tacos. I probably have them at least once a week when I go out to eat.

But eating out all the time can get a little spendy, so I’ve been trying to cut back a bit. I figured I could recreate my favorite fish tacos at home for a fraction of the price. Whoop Whoop!

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been experimenting with spices and have been trying to get this recipe for Blackened Mahi Mahi perfected.

Now even though I can get fresh Mahi Mahi here, I opted for the frozen ones since they were a little cheaper.

I just thawed the package of fish out in a bowl filled with cold water for about 15 minutes, changing the water every 5 minutes.

If you use frozen fish, just make sure you pat them dry after they are thawed. This will help the seasoning stick better to them.

I covered all sides of each fillet with the blackened seasoning to maximize the flavor.

Now let’s just talk about this Mango Slaw for a second. Wowza!

It was super easy to make. I actually whipped this up before thawing out the Mahi, that way it could marinade in the fridge for a bit. This also helped soften up the Red Cabbage.

This Mango Slaw is the perfect fit for the Blackened Mahi Mahi. It’s like a match made in taco heaven. 🙂
