Perfect for the weekend. I'm getting hungry as I make my grocery list.
Cod is on sale this week.
Grilled Fish Tacos
Makes 4 servings
Freshly frozen, farm-raised fish is often a very economical option for those of us who don't live with a seaport nearby. Check with your neighborhood Harter House Supermarket fish department to find the best varieties.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon blackening or Cajun seasoning
3/4 pound firm white fish fillets (such as red snapper, halibut or cod)
4 flour tortillas
2 ounces Cheddar, grated (about 1/2 cup)
Optional toppings: fresh lime wedges, diced tomato, finely shredded red cabbage, sliced green onion, chopped fresh jalapeno salsa
Directions:
1. Prepare and preheat grill.
2. Combine sour cream, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl; set aside.
3. Sprinkle seasoning over fish. Cook fish on grill over medium-high heat just until opaque in center (about 2 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness of fillets.) Transfer fish to bowl and flake into bite-size pieces with fork.
4. Place tortillas on grill and cook until lightly charred on both sides, about 20 seconds per side.
5. Divide fish among tortillas; top evenly with sour cream mixture and cheese. Serve with toppings, as desired.
Note: To prepare fish in the oven, place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
Make it a Meal:
Serve with an avocado, mango and Bibb lettuce salad tossed in a light Poppyseed dressing
