Ingredients:
**For the fish tacos:**
2 Mahi Mahi filets (about 6-7oz each)
Flour or corn tortillas, depending on your preference
2 tbsp Jerk seasoning
1/4c canola oil
1tbsp butter
**For the corn salsa:**
1 cup corn (fresh is best, but frozen is fine!)
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 red onion, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped finely
1/2 lime, squeezed
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
**For the purple cabbage slaw:**
1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped finely
1/2 lime, squeezed
1/2 tsp salt
**For the chipotle crema:**
8oz greek yogurt (or sour cream if you don’t care about health)
1 tbsp adobo sauce from canned chipotles in adobo
1/2 adobo pepper (or more, for extra spice)
**Extra garnishes:**
Crumbled cotija cheese
Cilantro
Lime wedges
**Directions:**
– Pat the fish dry and season with jerk seasoning. Set aside.
– Prep your sides. For the salsa, chop & mix everything together in a bowl. Repeat for cabbage slaw. For the crema, add ingredients to a food processor, blend until totally pureed. Sit in the fridge until ready for use.
– Cook the fish! Heat 1/4c vegetable oil & 1tbsp of butter in a skillet until hot but not screaming hot. Place the fish flesh side down and sear for 3-4 minutes. Flip onto the skin side and sear for another 3-4 minutes, or until the inside of the fish is white.
– When the fish is done, place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Cut the filets in half, length wise.
– Assemble the tacos! Heat both sides of your tortillas in a skillet. Remove from the heat and add your toppings. I did mine in the following order: cabbage, fish, corn salsa, cotija, crema, cilantro, fresh squeezed lime juice.

chiffonnsilk: Sounds gentrified with a gentrified West Indian twist
