Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper and cook the fillets in the hot oil until the fish is golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
3. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.

To Assemble

1. Place a cooked mahi-mahi fillet into the center of a warmed tortilla. Scoop some of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.
