Tonight's dinner.....

I just had to post about tonight's dinner. I LOVE LOVE LOVE fish, of all kinds (well, I'm not fond of catfish, but I really adore all other fish and seafood), my husband and oldest daughter are not big fish lovers. I have to really doctor it up for them to eat it. This afternoon I was really having a fish craving, so I decided to have D grill some mahi mahi for dinner. While I was thawing it out, and trying to figure out what I was going to do with it (I had half of a wonderful fresh pineapple in the fridge, and thought about doing a pineapple salsa.....hence came my inspiration). I went through the fridge to find out that I had all the fixings for fish tacos. YUMMMY :) My family LOVES mexican food! So, I thawed the mahi mahi, and made a marinade with a little liquid from a can of jalapenos that I had, added some fresh lime juice, a little evoo (extra virgin olive oil), some garlic and cumin, salt and pepper. I poured that over my fish filets, and let it rest for 20 minutes until D was ready to grill. I cut the pineapple into chunks so that they could be grilled. I shredded some cabbage....had A LOT of cabbage, so made a slaw with half of it (I used a little vinegar, a little light mayo, some cumin, salt, pepper, and some salsa). Diced a tomato, and chopped some cilantro. I heated up some organic canned black beans, added some chopped jalapeno and a little cilantro and cumin and garlic. I heated/softened the corn tortillas in a teeny tiny bit of oil. Oh my goodness was this a YUMMY dinner! I served it with lime wedges.... So the dinner consisted of: softened corn tortillas with grilled mahi mahi cabbage, tomato, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges grilled pineapple black beans My husband said "well, if I have to eat fish, this is the way to eat it" so I see fish tacos in our future probably twice a month. Going to have to find some other great fish "hiding" recipes to try on them as well :) |
