Atlantic Cod Fish Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Mayo
Okay, I'm typically not a huge fish fan. In fact, I steer clear of it the most I can. I think its more of the lack of know-how to cook it and the smell more than the taste though. I found this recipe online, and although 'fish tacos' sound incredibly unappealing, I was ready to give this sucker a shot. I was surprised that not only did I like it but my almost 3 year old was asking for seconds! (Confession: this is the first time my little one has ever consumed fish...Yes, I have avoided fish for almost 3 years!) I found the recipe here. Although you can vary the toppings to your liking, I will suggest that the Cilantro-Lime Mayo is a must try. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 lb Atlantic Cod, or any flaky white fish of your choice (haddock, halibut, etc)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 lime, squeezed
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tsp paprika
salt & pepper, to taste
Directions:
Marinate fish in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, paprika, cilantro, salt and pepper. Be sure to rub the mixture into the fish on both sides. Allow to marinate for 20-30 minutes
Heat grill to medium-high heat. Cook fish for 4-5 minutes per side. Once fish is completely white and flaky, remove from heat.
Flake fish into bite-sized pieces and place them on tortilla. Serve with Cilantro-Lime mayo and your choice of toppings. I topped mine with the mayo mix, lettuce and sauteed green and red peppers.(topping examples: shredded cabbage, shredded lettuce, fire-roasted pepper salsa, guacamole, red onion, green pepper, red pepper, shredded cheese etc.)
To make the Cilantro-Lime Mayo:
1/2 a lime, squeezed
1 tbsp of cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup mayo
Mix all ingredients, serve cold.
