Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings by combining cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta cheese, and parsley in a medium-sized bowl.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove Mahi Mahi from the marinade and pat dry to remove excess marinade.
Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt and lemon zest to make a sauce.
Flake the cooked Mahi Mahi into bite-sized pieces.
To assemble the tacos, place fish pieces onto each tortilla, top with the vegetable mixture, and drizzle with lemon-yogurt sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Mahi Mahi Tacos.
