Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos

This is my favorite fish tacos recipe, mahi mahi fish tacos. The blackened Mahi Mahi combined with mango salsa and cilantro lime cream sauce goes well together. This flavor combination is the best. The red onions provide some color and crunch. You can then build it how every you would like. Some shredded lettuce or red cabbage are both great options.

Notes

There are tons of ways to make this recipe your own.

1. Try marinating the mahi-mahi in lime juice for 5 or 10 min before you sear it.  I still would pat it dry, and add the blackening seasoning if it were me. 
2. Add red cabbage, it works great with fish tacos
3. Add thinly sliced radishes
4. Add and English cucumber to the mango salsa, peeled and de-seeded
5. Add a chipotle sauce... incredible..  <<<---try this
