Fish Marinade

Method

Fish Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Add the white fish fillets to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking the Fish

  1. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 4

    Flake the Fish

    Once cooked, remove the fish from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, use a fork to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a generous portion of the flaked fish, followed by shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and a spoonful of salsa.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
