Fish Tostadas with Mango Slaw

Brighten up your next meal with healthy Mahi Mahi Tostadas and Mango Slaw. 

Cook's Notes: I used a Mahi Mahi fillet to create this tostada but any white firm textured fish would work. Mango slaw's bright colors and citrusy taste were the perfect accompaniment for the tostada. Frozen mango cubes thawed can substitute for fresh mangoes. Recipe serves 4.
