Delicious and Healthy Fish Tacos
I found the following recipe online (don't know where now). Becca, Marie, Sean and I had them last Friday. We slightly modified the recipe and really enjoyed these fish tacos. We'll definitely make these again.
INGREDIENTS
·
1 pound firm
white fish, such as tilapia, snapper, cod, mahi mahi, or catfish
·
2 medium limes,
halved
·
1 medium garlic
clove, finely chopped
·
1/4
teaspoon ground cumin
·
1/4
teaspoon chili powder
·
2
tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
·
Kosher salt
·
Freshly
ground black pepper
·
1/2 small head of
green or red cabbage (about 14 ounces), cored and thinly sliced
·
1/2 medium red
onion, thinly sliced
·
1/4 cup coarsely
chopped fresh cilantro
·
6 to 8 soft
(6-inch) corn tortillas
·
Sliced avocado,
for garnish (optional)
·
Guacamole,
for garnish (optional)
·
Salsa,
for garnish (optional)
·
Sour cream, for
garnish (optional)
·
Hot sauce, for garnish
(optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the fish in a baking dish and squeeze a
lime half over it. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of the
oil. Season with salt and pepper and turn the fish in the marinade until evenly
coated. Refrigerate and let marinate at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the
slaw and warm the tortillas.
2. Combine the cabbage, onion, and cilantro in a
large bowl and squeeze a lime half over it. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon
oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt
and pepper if necessary; set aside.
3. Warm the tortillas by heating a medium frying
pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time, flipping to warm both
sides, about 5 minutes total. Wrap the warm tortillas in a clean dishcloth and
set aside while you prepare the fish.
4. Brush the grates of a grill pan or outdoor
grill with oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the fish from
the marinade and place on the grill.
5. Cook without moving until the underside of the
fish has grill marks and is white and opaque on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
Flip and grill the other side until white and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes
more. (It’s OK if it breaks apart while you’re flipping.) Transfer the fish to
a plate.
6. Taste the slaw again and season as needed with
more lime juice. Slice the remaining lime halves into wedges and serve with the
tacos. To construct a taco, break up some of the cooked fish, place it in a
warm tortilla, and top it with slaw and any optional garnishes.
