Directions

1. Make the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, pineapple, mango, cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10–15 minutes while the fish cooks to allow flavors to meld.

2. Pat your mahi mahi fillets dry. Rub with olive oil, then coat generously with Jamaican Jerk Seasoning by Sauce Goddess on both sides.

3. Preheat your grill or griddle to medium-high heat. Grill mahi mahi for 4–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 140–145°F and the flesh flakes easily.

4. During the last 2–3 minutes of cooking, place the buns cut-side-down on the grill or griddle. Toast until golden brown and lightly crisp.

5. Assemble your sandwiches: Place grilled mahi mahi fillets on toasted buns. Top with a generous scoop of pineapple mango slaw and a light drizzle of Chile Lime Aioli.

Recipe Note

Pro Tip: Let the slaw rest while the fish cooks. The acidity helps soften the cabbage and brings out the sweetness of the fruit — perfect balance for spicy jerk mahi!
