Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Vidalia onion, thinly sliced into rings
2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
Coarse salt
1/3 cup finely chopped scallions (about 6)
3 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno chiles (about 2)
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for serving
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3/4 pound meaty fish fillets, such as mahimahi
2 cups cooked beans, plus 1/4 cup cooking liquid
8 to 12 corn tortillas, toasted briefly over an open flame and wrapped in a cloth, for serving
4 ounces cotija or ricotta salata cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup), for serving
4 radishes, thinly sliced, for serving
1 head romaine lettuce, trimmed and shredded (2 cups), for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack 8 inches from heat source. Toss onion with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Let stand at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, mix scallions, jalapenos, chopped cilantro, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons oil. Transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl (set remaining mixture aside), and stir in remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Rub all over fish.
  • Reheat beans and their liquid. When hot, stir in 3 tablespoons reserved scallion-cilantro mixture. Remove from heat; cover.
  • Broil fish, flipping when scallions and cilantro begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Continue to cook until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes more.
  • Serve beans and fish with tortillas, remaining scallion-cilantro mixture, lime wedges, onions, cheese, radishes, and lettuce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish: The fresher the fish, the better your tacos will taste. If you can, buy your fish from a reputable fishmonger or seafood market.
  • Season the fish well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs to season your fish. This will help to enhance the flavor of the tacos.
  • Cook the fish properly: The key to perfect fish tacos is to cook the fish properly. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough, while undercooked fish can be dangerous to eat. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about fish tacos is that you can top them with a variety of ingredients. Some popular toppings include shredded cabbage, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Fish tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to prevent the fish from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your fish tacos are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fish tacos a try!
