Ingredients
Avocado Slaw:
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus 1/4 cup chopped
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 clove garlic
1/2 avocado
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 cups thinly shredded green cabbage
3 green onions, white and green parts only, sliced
Fish Tacos:
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt
1 pound mahi-mahi fillets, cut against the grain into 1 1/2-inch strips
2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
Chopped cilantro, for garnish
8 lime wedges, for garnish
Directions
- For the cabbage slaw: Add the 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, mayonnaise, garlic, avocado, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a food processor. Process until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water, 2 tablespoons at a time.
- In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, the green onions and the dressing. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- For the fish tacos: Mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the fish and toss gently to coat.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapeseed oil and the fish and cook until the seasoning on the fish is blackened, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a plate.
- Top each tortilla with 2 slices of fish, about 1/4 cup of slaw and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Whole family loves this. Orange roughy works well, also. I add a combination of more lime juice, more mayo, jalapeño, and avocado to the slaw. Soooo good!
