Ingredients
Scale
1 pound firm white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup diced mango
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry. Rub both sides of the fish with the blackened seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the seasoned fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until cooked through and nicely blackened. Break the fish into large flakes.
While the fish cooks, prepare the salsa. Combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro in a small bowl. Mix gently and season with salt.
Warm the tortillas according to package directions. You can warm them directly over a low gas flame for a few seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave briefly.
Assemble the tacos. Place a portion of the flaked fish onto each warm tortilla.
Top the fish generously with the fresh mango salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
Sasha loves to add a pinch of cayenne to the seasoning mix for extra heat.
If you prefer less spice, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeño.
Use your favorite grilling or searing method for the fish if you do not want to use a skillet.
