Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 juice Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup Mango, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 unit Jalapeño, seeded and chopped

Instructions
Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Brush the Mahi Mahi fillets with the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the fillets on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
While the Mahi Mahi is cooking, prepare the mango slaw by combining the cabbage, diced mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño in a mixing bowl. Toss well to combine.
Warm the Paleo-friendly taco shells in the oven or on the grill for a few minutes until they're slightly crisp.
Once the fish is cooked, slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of the mango slaw into each taco shell, followed by the sliced avocado and Mahi Mahi.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Mahi Mahi Tacos!
