Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups shredded coleslaw mix
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
3/4 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for the grill
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds skinless grouper or other firm white fish, halved crosswise
8 corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro, Mexican crema and salsa verde, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the slaw mix, red onion, lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Oil the grates. Mix the cayenne with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; rub all over the fish. Grill until well marked on the bottom and the fish releases easily from the grill, about 6 minutes. Flip and grill until cooked through, 4 to 6 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice or flake the fish.
  • Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm on the grill, about 4 minutes.
  • Divide the fish among the warm tortillas. Top with the slaw, cilantro, crema and salsa verde. Serve with lime wedges.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 limes
2 cloves garlic, quartered
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems (about 2 cups packed)
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems (about 2 cups packed)
1 bunch scallions, half coarsely chopped and half finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound skinless halibut fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 cups packed finely shredded savoy cabbage (about 8 ounces)
2/3 cup sour cream
8 to 12 corn tortillas, warmed
Prepared salsa verde, for serving

Steps:

  • Finely grate the zest of one of the limes and add it to the bowl of a mini food processor. Squeeze in the juice of the lime and add the garlic, cilantro, coarsely chopped scallions, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until roughly chopped. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon water and continue to pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky sauce.
  • Toss the halibut in a bowl with all but 1 tablespoon of the sauce and let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while you prepare the cabbage and the sour cream.
  • In a large bowl, toss the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro sauce with the cabbage, finely chopped scallions, the juice of the second lime, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, the juice of the remaining lime and a pinch of salt.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add about half of the fish, so the pieces are in a single layer, and cook, turning, until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate and cook the remaining fish with the remaining oil. Divide the fish among the tortillas and top with cabbage. Serve with the sour cream and salsa verde on the side.

  • Combine yogurt, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, hot sauce, and salt for spicy dressing in a blender or food processor; pulse until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
  • When ready to cook the tilapia, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For best results, use a firm-fleshed fish that can withstand the heat of the grill. Good options include salmon, halibut, swordfish, and tilapia.
  • Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish before grilling helps to add flavor and keep it moist. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices. Or, try a more complex marinade that includes yogurt, honey, or soy sauce.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and drying out. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Make the coleslaw ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the coleslaw up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Grilled fish tacos with creamy cilantro coleslaw are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tacos are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these tacos a try!
