Paleo tortillas filled with spicy blackened Mahi Mahi fish, refreshing peach salsa and avocado. These Blackened Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos will blow away your taste buds! They’re light, healthy and very easy to make!

MAHI MAHI HEALTH BENEFITS

The main ingredient of these tacos is blackened mahi mahi fish. Mahi Mahi is known to contain high amounts of nutrients like vitamins B-5, B-6 and minerals, mainly potassium and selenium.

A 6-ounce portion contains more selenium than your entire recommended daily intake! What’s more, it’s also a source of complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids. If you’ve never had mahi mahi fish before, I recommend you try this one. It’s wild-caught and tastes amazing.

HOW TO MAKE BLACKENED MAHI MAHI TACOS

MAHI MAHI SEASONING

The secret to perfect blackened fish is the smoky, sweet and savory spice blend. Simply combine smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, cayenne, pink salt and pepper and rub it in right before placing on a skillet.

BEST WAY TO COOK MAHI MAHI

Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet or any skillet you have.  Add fish to pan; and cook 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. It should also flake easily. The easiest and most delicious to cook pretty much any fish!

PEACH SALSA

Since mahi mahi is naturally slightly sweet in taste, it pairs perfectly with fresh fruit salsas! Peach season is about to come to an end so I’m trying to enjoy them as much as I can! You can see all the peach recipes I made this season here. The sweet and juicy peaches pair perfectly with the blackened spicy fish!
