Fish Tacos

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 28 July, 2014 None comments

Today was an absolutely beautiful day filled with church, relaxation and good eats. My husband and I had some great conversations while enjoying the sun. Typically we spend every weekend busy with chores or out traveling around. Today we sat and had great conversations with some yummy iced coffee and delicious food.

Fish tacos were not on the menu for tonight’s dinner, but as the night progressed it simply turned into that as we both decided we had been talking about fish tacos for awhile.

They were so incredible, we were thankful we succumbed to the desire. After eating dinner we went on a nice long walk through the forest as it’s basically in our backyard. Quiet and peaceful was the remainder of our day topped off with a Cherry Turnover from my Aunt’s berry store in Salem. Woo-hoo!

Ingredients:

4 fillets of Mahi (any kind works great)
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp chipotle seasoning
½ tsp garlic salt
¼ tsp sea salt
2 tbsp garlic butter, melted

Toppings:

Grilled Corn
Kidney Beans
Cheese
Rice
Tomato
Avocado
Ranch

In a small bowl mix together chili powder, chipotle, garlic and sea salt together. Sprinkle over fish.

Grill the fish on the BBQ and while cooking, baste the fish with melted garlic butter.

Once cooked, allow to cool and shred fish.

Toast tortillas on the grill.

Grill the corn on the barbecue with garlic butter and salt.

Once tortillas are cooked, serve warm with all the toppings you enjoy.

Assemble with cheese, rice, beans, tomatoes, corn, ranch and avocado.

So delicious! Yummy!

Hope you enjoy as much as we did! :)

Pan Fried Mahi

In desperate need of a last minute meal idea??? Here’s a quick, healthy option.

I decided the other night I had waited to long to begin dinner and BBQ’ing was out of the question. My son need to eat and eat now, as it was his bedtime. Opps, I was slacking on my bedtime routine with him and let us play outside for way longer than recommended. :)

Tonight’s menu: Pan fried Mahi, sausage, salad and rice. Easy, simple and good for you!

Ingredients:

Mahi (Or any fish you prefer)
Dill
Butter
EVOO
Garlic Salt
Sea Salt

In a skillet, add butter and a titch of EVOO. Begin to heat on medium-low heat. Add Mahi

Sprinkle Mahi with seasoning and cook for 3-5 minutes than flip.

When fish flakes apart, your mahi is finished cooking. Do not over cook. You want your fish to be flaky for best results.

Serve with salad and rice with the option of delicious sausage as a side.

Enjoy this meal as a GREAT last minute meal idea. :)

Backyard BBQ Mahi

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 24 June, 2014 None comments

This backyard BBQ Mahi adds a little taste of sweet and spicy. We love Mahi in our household especially because we buy it from Costco with individually wrapped fillets.

I’m all about healthy, quick and easy clean up. :)

Ingredients:

4 Mahi Fillets
4 tbsp butter
1 tbsp Backyard BBQ seasoning
1 tsp paprika
Dash of garlic salt

On a foil lined broiler pan, place fillets with seasoning sprinkled evenly amongst the four fillets. Place 1 tbsp butter on each fillet.

Bake at 375 degrees and cook for 8-10 minutes or until flaky.

Serve with rice and vegetables.

Grilled Mahi and Corn on the Cob

Yummy!

Grilled Mahi and Corn on the Cob. Easy, delicious, healthy and most of all…..easy clean up.

I’ve become quite the grill master lately and have really enjoyed it. Makes your food taste great and is easier than I had expected.

This is a meal the whole family with love, as you can see, my little boy loves it as well. :)

Ingredients:

4 Mahi fillets
4 Corn on the cob, shucked
1 White or Yellow Onion, sliced
Dill
Garlic Salt
Salt & Pepper
EVOO
Butter

As you can see I didn’t give exact measurements for the seasoning. I prefer to do seasoning to desired preference. Also, depending on the size of the fillet you may want a little more or a little less. :)

For easy clean up I wrap each corn and fillet individually in foil to allow for the flavors to seep in and stay concentrated.

Sprinkle corn with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Top with a chunk of butter and sprinkle with EVOO.

Fold foil up in somewhat of a dome. This will give easy access to check and see if the corn is done without losing all your juices.

Slice onion and sprinkle seasoning on top of Mahi. Lay onion on top and drizzle with EVOO and chunks of butter. Fold up into a dome.

Grill corn first as it will take significantly longer. Once corn is half way grilled begin cooking the fish for 5-8 minutes (depending on size) making sure not to overcook. You will want the fish to be flaky, this means it is done and not over cooked or under cooked.

Once done, open up and enjoy the aroma and enjoy this luscious, healthy meal.

Cooper LOVED this meal and LOVES seafood. He ate a whole corn on the cob by himself and shared the fish with me.

Cooper being a big boy using adults silverware and feeding himself. :)

Makes for great leftovers if you can make it last that long. :)

Hickory Smoked Mahi

This meal has become one of my favorite meals to date. The delicious flavors wrapped in the sweet crunch of bacon- awe Yes bacon completes this meal. The homemade smoked hickory rub gave the mahi the greatest flavor. Beyond healthy in an unexpected way. Most the time I feel “healthy” meals are not satisfying to my soul, well this my friend accomplishes those feelings.

I buy my fish from Costco as they have very good products with no added hormones and so on and so forth. I had two pieces remaining for last nights dinner and sought out to make it the last best meal. Mission accomplished… this meal was fabulous and the best part of all was it was so simply!
