Fish Tacos


These fish tacos make for a simple weeknight dinner. They are inspired by a Baja version, yet incorporate more veggies and most importantly, avocado!

Serves 4

 

Ingredients

  • ~ 2 lbs fresh mild white fish such as Tilapia or Cod
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup diced cilantro
  • 1/2 cup diced green onions
  • 4 tablespoons mayo (I make my own with olive oil)
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pat butter
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • salt & pepper


Preparation

  1. Prepare a white sauce by combining the mayo, lemon juice, crushed garlic and salt & pepper.
  2. Set aside and prep the vegetable toppings, each in their own bowl.
  3. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan and lay fish fillets in side-by-side.
  4. Sprinkle tops with salt & pepper and let cook on medium for about 4 minutes.
  5. Flip, sprinkle with salt & pepper again and after a couple of minutes, add the white wine to steam for a couple more minutes.
  6. Heat the tortillas in the oven (wrapped in foil) or individually in a dry skillet.
  7. Assemble and serve, or the other way around.
