Ingredients
- Mahi Mahi fillets
- Corn tortillas
- Red cabbage, shredded
- Avocado, sliced
- Cilantro, chopped
- Lime, juiced
- Chipotle powder
- Garlic, minced
- Dairy free mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and chipotle powder on both sides.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook Mahi Mahi fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.
- While fish cooks, prepare chipotle garlic lime aioli by mixing dairy-free mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Warm corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over gas flame for 30 seconds per side to enhance flavor and flexibility.
- Flake cooked Mahi Mahi into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- Assemble Buddha bowls by layering shredded red cabbage as base, then top with flaked fish, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
- Drizzle prepared chipotle garlic lime aioli over the bowl and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
Tips
- Always pat your Mahi Mahi fillets completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect sear and prevent steaming.
- Use a cast-iron or non-stick skillet for the best fish texture and minimal sticking.
- Don't overcook the fish - aim for that perfect 145°F internal temperature for flaky, moist results.
- Warm tortillas just before serving to maximize their flavor and pliability.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting your spices briefly before seasoning the fish.
- Prep all ingredients beforehand to make assembly quick and seamless.
- The chipotle aioli can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor melding.
