I used mahi mahi for this, but you could just as easily substitute any mild white fish, or chicken. A very interesting combination of colors, textures and flavors with a smoky, Mexican undertone.

Ingredients

  • 2 - mild fish fillets (mahi mahi, cod, pollock)
  • 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small green pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced vertically into strips
  • 1/2 cup brown rice, cooked
  • 1/2 cup black beans, cooked
  • 1/2 cup pineapple salsa (see my recipes)
  • 2 tablespoons fat free sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1/2 small avocado, diced
  • - hot sauce, to taste

How To Make mahi mahi, fajita style

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 350. Place fish on a lightly greased pan. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and bake 10-20 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Step 2
    While fish cooks, heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium high. When it’s hot and begins to shimmer add onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently but allowing scotched patches to form, until crisp-tender. You’re aiming for something like fajitas.
  • Step 3
    Combine heated rice and black beans. Divide the mixture between two serving plates, spreading it into a circle.
  • Step 4
    Top rice and beans with bell pepper mixture.
  • Step 5
    When fish is done, place it on top of the bell peppers.
  • Step 6
    Top the fish with a line of pineapple salsa, a scoop of yogurt or sour cream, avocado and a drizzle of hot sauce.
