Fish

Jicama Slaw

Island Mayo

Tortillas

Method

Preparing the Grouper

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the Cajun seasoning evenly over both sides of each fillet.

  2. 2

    Heat the Grill

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the grill grates to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Place the seasoned grouper fillets on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Making the Jicama Slaw

  1. 4

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the julienned jicama, shredded carrot, shredded red cabbage, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 5

    Dress the Slaw

    Drizzle lime juice over the slaw mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well mixed.

Preparing the Island Mayo

  1. 6

    Mix the Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

Assembling the Taco

  1. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

  2. 8

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a grilled grouper fillet, followed by a generous scoop of jicama slaw and a drizzle of island mayo.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
