Fish Tacos

It's awesome to have so much Halibut on hand when you want to make something like this. Chris, Timmy's brother, goes to Alaska once a year in the fall with his parents and some of their friends to catch Halibut and Salmon. He's going again in August this year so I need to use up the rest of last years supply!

 

Fish Tacos

1/2 lb halibut, skinned, deboned and cut into small pieces 

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon cajun seasoning

1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

3-4 cloves garlic, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

• Prepare the fish by skinning and boning if needed. 
• In a bowl, mix together all of the ingredients listed above. Add the fish to the marinade and let sit for up to 30 minutes. 
• When ready to cook the fish, heat a pan on medium-high heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes. Don't worry if the fish is falling apart, it's a flaky fish so it's normal.

Condiments:

pico de gallo

guacamole

chili mayo {recipe below}

cheese, shredded

cabbage, shredded

Chili Mayo

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce

1 tablespoon chili powder

• Combine all of the ingredients above and refrigerate until ready to use.

To assemble the tacos, start off with a flour tortilla and add a couple spoonfuls of the halibut. After that the pico de gallo, gaucamole, chili mayo, cheese and the cabbage.

I usually serve the fish tacos with a side of black beans and mexican rice topped with a little cheese.

Enjoy!
