Kitchen Confessions: Easy Fish Tacos

It's been a minute since we've been on here.  Lots of life happening and just not a lot of time for blogging, but we're slowly settling into a summer routine and that means just a little more free time on the horizon. Time to enjoy family, time to enjoy the sunshine, and time to actually cook a good dinner! 

There is something about summer that makes me feel like we should be eating more seafood. We've had some Mahi Mahi in the freezer for a while from a fishing trip the Mr. took this spring and I found THIS recipe online for fish tacos. 

They were SO good. My family was so impressed and they tasted like something you'd have at a restaurant. So yummy! The fish was seasoned just right and I think the other key was having all the best toppings including the tacos sauce that the recipe shared.

Fish Taco Ingredients: 

small flour tortillas 

1 1/2 lbs. white fish of your choice 

1/2 tsp ground cumin 

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 

1 tsp salt 

1/4 tsp black pepper 

1 Tbsp olive oil 

1 Tbsp butter 



Fish Taco Toppings: 

1/4 purple cabbage 

2 avocado, sliced 

tomato, diced 

1/2 diced read onion 

1/2 cup Catija cheese, crumbled

1 lime cut into wedges


Fish Taco Sauce Ingredients: 

1/2 cup sour cream 

1/3 cup mayo 

2 Tbsp lime juice 

1 tsp garlic powder 

1 tsp Sriracha sauce 


Instructions:

1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In small dish combine seasonings and sprinkle evenly over both sides of fish. 

2. Lightly drizzle fish with olive oil and dot each piece with butter. Bake at 375 for 20-25 mins. 

3. Combine all taco sauce ingredients in medium bowl and still until well blended. 

4. To serve tacos, quickly toast the corn tortillas in large dry skillet over medium/high heat. 

5. Assemble starting with pieces of fish then add toppings and taco sauce. Serve with fresh lime wedge to squeeze over tacos. 

6. Enjoy!

Kitchen Confessions {Lemon Garlic Mahi Mahi}

A few weeks ago I got a wild hair and decided to try out a new recipe.  You know I'm all for easy and quick dinners that will make everyone happy.  When I came across this Easy Perfect Mahi Mahi recipe I decided to give it a try.  We've got a freezer full of fish that the Mr. caught on one of his fishing trips, but I never seem to be able to cook it just right...until now.  

This tasted like something from a restaurant!  Seriously so good and it really was simple to make.  I did the lemon garlic butter ahead of time and the fish cooks quickly so it was a simple weeknight meal and something everyone loved. I will definitely be making it again! 

Lemon Garlic Mahi Mahi 

Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce 

Ingredients: 

2 TB salted butter, softened

1 TB chopped parsley 

2 TB garlic cloves, minced (I used the kind in a jar)

1/8 tsp salt 

1/4 tsp ground pepper 

1 TB fresh lemon juice 

Fish 

Ingredients: 

2 TB olive oil 

4 (1- inch thick) Mahi-Mahi fillets 

salt and pepper 


Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 400 F with rack on middle position 

2. Add all ingredients for lemon garlic butter sauce in a small pan and stir to fully combine. Set aside. 

3. Pat dry all excess moisture from the fish with paper towels. Sprinkle evenly both sides with salt and pepper. 

4. In a large oven-safe skillet heat olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot add fish fillets and cook until browned on one side (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip fillets to the other side and immediately transfer to pre-heated oven. 

5. Roast fish for 4-5 minutes until top is golden and center is cooked through. 

6. While fish is cooking warm lemon garlic butter sauce over medium heat. 

7. Remove fish from oven and top with butter sauce. Garnish with extra lemon slices. 

8. Enjoy!
