I’m a huge fan of fish tacos, and I this recipe using smoked Mahi Mahi is one of the best preparations I’ve made. This smoked mahi mahi recipe makes use of a quick lemon-herb marinade or Key West dry rub. The fish is planked on mesquite and cedar, then smoked at about 220 F for 30-40 minutes.
I prepared this Mahi Mahi recipe with my friend Brian on his Big Green Egg, but you can use your grill at a higher temperature and still have great results. We made these into some killer fish tacos by placing them in warm corn tortillas and topping them with shredded cabbage, my fish taco white sauce, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
