Brisa Tropical


Relajarse And Feel The Breeze



(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

Relax... the only sound you hear are the waves hitting the rocks and the ice hitting your glass. Today we're just hanging out by the bay and soaking it all in... Oh look, there goes a whale. 

We've got Mahi Mahi on the grill, a tequila sour and a laid back "Brisa Tropical" soundtrack to put you at ease. 

Chill... The pots are on!




The Plate... 

Bahia de Banderas Mahi Mahi/Spicy Aioli Potatoes


Something a little light with some spice... It's the perfect thing to snack on while you're lying around watching the surfers in the bay. Don't worry you have a tequila sour to wash it down... just in case it's a little too spicy for you. 


What you need... 

6-8 oz Mahi filets
Olive oil
Dry rub- 4 tbsp Paul Prudhomme's Seafood magic or
1 tsp each - dried parsley, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne onion & garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

1 lb new potatoes
1 1/2 cup Mayo
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 jalapeno


Get to cookin'...


Set grill to medium high. 

Meanwhile, boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes. 
Cool, then cut in half. 
Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and jalapeño then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place on the grill, cut side down and cook until golden brown. 
Grill jalapeño until blackened. 

Drizzle oil on fish and coat with dry rub. 
Place directly over the heat on grill or in cast iron skillet.
