Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended. Add the fish fillets to the bowl and coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated fish fillets on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking the fish into bite-sized pieces.

Cabbage Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Toss well to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Lime Crema Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Lime Crema

    In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust the salt to taste.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until soft and pliable. To each tortilla, add a generous portion of grilled fish, top it with cabbage slaw, and drizzle with lime crema. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
