These were delicious!!! Since we’re stuck at home during the COVID-19 quarantine, I’m trying to make special meals for us so that dinner isn’t boring too. These were the biggest hit so far. Even our 22 year old son who is a “man of few words” would not stop raving about them. My hubby said it is one of his new favorites. Yum yum yum 😋 Only things I tweaked were I used a bag of tri-colored slaw instead of chopping up cabbage myself, and I baked the fish in the oven instead of cooking on the stove.

My aunt called me this morning and decided to have some friends over and wanted to serve a variety of tacos. I ran to the supermarket and grabbed everything to make chicken and beef tacos and thought to myself it would be cool to make fish tacos. I found this recipe and decided to give it a try and OMG they were amazing! Even down to the coleslaw.  Thank you for this fabulous recipe. This will be a party staple at our home for years to come. Ridiculously delicious. It was a hit!

Since we tried this recipe we now have fish tacos once a week. Luckily for us we have a house in the Gulf of Mexico and fish a lot. I have found that Mangrove Snapper is perfect for this recipe.  The filets are the perfect size.  We also have used this recipe for gulf white shrimp tacos and it’s awesome as well. I like to throw the corn tortillas in the same pan that I cook the fish in to crisp them up. The remaining oil in the pan works perfectly go that.  I also prefer using cast iron to cook the fish in as well.

Used 1 1/2 tsp of cayenne and it was not too spicy.  The slaw is amazing, don’t skip it.

Loved this. I wrapped in Bibb lettuce to save carbs. I used avocado mayo in the slaw and somehow forgot to get cilantro so used Italian parsley. Instead of using sliced avocado I made a quick guacamole with some cut up onion and spices. It was colorful, tasty and pretty darn healthy!

Very tasty and easy to make. The coleslaw is awesome! It's so good, I made extra!

Just tried these. Store did not have cod fish so I used tilapia instead. It was SOOOOO good! Will be doing these again - very simple and quick. And the marinade takes the fish to the next level!

Just made today! Super easy and DELICIOUS. I ended up using Gorton's breaded fish fillets from Target instead of the cod and it worked very well. Coleslaw was amazing.

I made this last night and it was delicious! As good if not better than my favorite fish taco restaurant.  The slaw and marinade have such great flavors. I used a bag of precut coleslaw instead of purple cabbage to save a little time.

We enjoyed this dish this evening minus the slaw and hot pepper. The fish marinated in lime and seasonings turned out delicious with avocado, cilantro, and sour cream.

Wonderful! My husband, who only barbecues outside, made the marinade for the fish. We had all the ingredients on hand including frozen Costco cod. With a side salad, this meal is a keeper for a warm California night.

This was fantastic!  Made it last night and it was so easy.  I had to make substitutions (used plain yogurt instead of sour cream, dried cilantro instead of fresh, lemon instead of lime) but it came out great!

Delicious and easy flavorful recipe.  My husband loves very spicy food and thought the fish had a nice heat.  I thought it was a little spicy, so I added some rice. I had some Chesapeake Bay striped bass ("rock fish") that I wanted to use and it worked great.  I also didn't have cabbage, so I made a substitute slaw with green onions, red pepper, tomato, carrots, and jalapeno. Even my picky eater enjoyed.

I'm pretty new to cooking, and have been dedicating a lot of time lately to learning. I’ve been looking for simple, healthy recipes, and this one is a WINNER! I’m very impressed with how easy it was to make. It won my wife and I over after the first time we made it, and I even impressed my mother-in-law 🤪 we used haddock in place of the cod, and it tasted great! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Recipe was really easy to follow. I made the marinade for the fish exactly as suggested but will add a little more kick to it next time, and there will be a next time.  The sauce was also easy to follow and had a nice flavor.  We did not use the corn or sour cream. I think next time I will use the fish marinade and make a batter for the fish as it needed a little more crunch.  All in all, for my first attempt I was very pleased.  My husband even had one which is saying a lot because he is super picky!

I have prepared many fish tacos over the year but this was really the best recipe yet!  The fish was so delicious, tender, marinate so perfect, and cooked up quickly.  The slaw was superb..   My husband complimented me over and over again--which is really great considering we have been married for 50 years!

Quick and easy recipe.  Taste was splendid!

Such a delicious recipe! This was the first time I've ever made fish tacos, and they were amazing. The recipe was easy to follow, and I'll definitely make them again!

This garlicky lemon mahi-mahi recipe from Delish.com will make you look so fancy.

Garlicky Lemon Mahi-Mahi

extra-virgin olive oil, divided

(4-oz.) mahi-mahi fillets

asparagus

garlic,

red pepper flakes

lemon, sliced

lemon

tbsp. parsley,

This is so simple and delicious. I added a little white wine to the lemon juice and simmered it to thicken. Definitely a keeper.

Love this recipe. it was fast and easy. I did everythhing stated, but  I didnt have aspearagus so I used Brocollini and added mushrooms and onion.... Out of this world wonderfu!!!!

Very easy and delicious. If you have no sense of smell, it only takes about 30 seconds for the garlic aroma for the sauce. My family and I think the lemon taste is too strong and lacked the garlic. Therefore I suggest using fresh garlic and only one lemon (Half in slices and half for juice). I did not have Asparagus so I made a side of White Rice and a side of green beans.

Really lemony....and I sautéed the lemon quite a while. Be careful not to overcook the fish. Timing is dependent on filet size and pan temp. My son really liked the dish, my husband would prefer I do not make it again.

This was a fast quick for dinner.  The garlic of 3 cloves combined with the citrus lemon was tart. 

I scale back with one clove of garlic.

This was delicious & easy! I made wild rice as a second side dish & my boyfriend & I both loved every bite.

This was amazing. Although, we did have to lessen the lemony taste w/a bit of baking soda. Other than that, loved this!!!!

Great recipe!  Easy, fast, and delicious.  My wife and Ｉloved it.  Definitely will try it again.  Thank you so much!

I love this recipe I had to make some adjustments due to the size of the mahi mahi my wife and I had but it was awesome. Out side of the adjustment I had to make i followed all of the steps and ingredients and it turned out to be the best I've had and that even includes restraunts that make it daily.

Super easy to make and super tasty! Enjoyed every bite. Thank you.

It's not often that I find an online recipe that's this good! I was able to use all ingredients and they were perfect... I also added a little white wine to the lemon juice... and I threw in some shrimp... yummy! It's a keeper and will check this site again!

you have to let the  lemon simmer before putting the fish back in  other wise it will be to  lemony.

Great, classic, and simple recipe. I used dill paste as well. So delicious!!

Super yummy and such a healthy meal! My kids loved it!!!! It was delicious

I added a dash of white wine to reduction.
