Ingredients
For the cherry tomato salsa:
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved or quartered depending on size
- 1 cup cooked corn fresh or frozen
- 1 large green onion chopped (white and green parts)
- 1 small jalapeno seeded and chopped fine
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime juiced
- salt and pepper to taste
For the fish:
- 1.5 lbs. wild cod or other flaky white fish
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or other oil with a high smoke point
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
For serving:
- 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
- 1 lime
- 6 6" corn tortillas or sub with your favorite
- 1 large avocado sliced
- lime wedges and cilantro for serving (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the salsa and cabbage:
- Place the cherry tomatoes, corn, green onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl and stir well to combine.
- Place the cabbage in a small bowl and toss with the juice from 1/2 lime and salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the fish:
- Preheat the grill over medium high. Pat the fish dry and brush both sides lightly with 1/2 tablespoon of oil, then sprinkle both sides with the smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to medium brush the grill grates with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes side or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Assemble the tacos:
- Divide the cabbage between each tortilla, followed by the grilled fish, then top with the corn cherry tomato salsa and avocado.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges and cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Pro tip: Prepare the cherry tomato salsa first to give the flavors time to meld while the fish is on the grill.
- You may use any firm, flaky white fish to make this recipe. Mahi mahi, tilapia and halibut are all great options. Salmon also works perfectly in fish tacos!
- Change up this recipe with your favorite tortillas, fish or shrimp, and toppings!
