Fresh Fish Tacos with Mango Slaw

RETURN TO RECIPES

SERVES About 8 tacos

How about a delicious twist on tacos for the Summertime? These fish tacos call for Halibut, but you can easy substitute whatever type of fish you like for a taste sensation.

  1. Prepare slaw by slicing all ingredients with a knife or handheld mandoline. Whisk together dressing, and dress. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, blend marinade ingredients together. Marinate fish in a plastic bag for 10- 45 minutes.
  3. Grill fish on medium high heat on a grill, or cook on the stovetop in a grill pan or nonstick skillet. Place skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, and then flip once. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes or until fish is cooked. Cook for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until interior temperature reaches 140 .
  4. Warm corn tortillas in a skillet or in the microwave. Fill tacos with slaw, fish, slices of avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
