Grilled Fish Tacos Recipe
Prep: 40 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Serves: 4
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
Marinade
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp Farm Boy™ Garlic Flowers (190 ml)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 fillets Farm Boy™ Wild Caught Mahi-Mahi (454 g) thawed overnight in the fridge
Sauce
- 1/3 cup Farm Boy™ Chipotle Mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup Farm Boy™ 14% Sour Cream (500 mL)
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded green or red cabbage
- 1 cup Farm Boy™ Pico de Gallo
- 8 Farm Boy™ Yellow Corn Tortillas (450 g)
- lime wedges, cilantro leaves to serve
Directions:
- In shallow bowl or ziptop bag, combine lime juice, garlic flowers and salt and pepper to taste. Add fish to turn to coat well. Marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- While fish is marinating, make sauce: in medium bowl combine chipotle mayonnaise, sour cream and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reserve.
- Preheat grill on high, it should reach close to 500°F. Clean grates and lightly grease using an oiled paper towel. Lower heat to medium high and place fish on grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes, then using a spatula, flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily. Internal temperature should reach 140°F (carry over temperature will take it to 145°F). Remove fish from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
- To serve, cut fish into strips lengthwise. Warm up tortillas and divide fish amongst them.
- Top with cabbage, pico de gallo and a drizzle of mayo.
- Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.
Chef’s Tips:
You can use any type of firm white fish for these tacos, halibut and red snapper are great substitutes for Mahi Mahi. You can make a combination of green or Napa cabbage with the red cabbage. If you like more spice, add some hot sauce to mayo mix. And if you prefer to have a white sauce, substitute the chipotle mayo for regular mayo. This sauce is supposed to be pretty runny. For that authentic flavour, heat tortillas on the grill to give them a bit of char.
