Tips:

  • Use fresh, flaky fish fillets for the best results. Cod, tilapia, and halibut are all good choices.
  • To make the garlic-lime marinade, use freshly squeezed lime juice and minced garlic. This will give the fish the best flavor.
  • Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat until it is cooked through. This should take about 10 minutes per side.
  • Serve the fish tacos with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, salsa, and sour cream.
