Tropical Fish Tacos Recipe


Ingredients:
  • 2 tilapia fillets (about 16 oz)
  • zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour and a little salt and pepper
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • Pineapple salsa to taste (recipe below)
  • lime yogurt sauce to taste (recipe below)
Directions:
  1. Mix together lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl or tupper ware container. Transfer the marinade to plastic bag (or leave in tupper ware) and add the fish fillets. Marinade in the refrigerator for at least one hour (and up to 24).
  2. When ready to cook, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium high heat. Mix together the flour with a little salt and pepper in a bowl and coat the fish with the flour. Transfer the fish to the heated pan and cook for about 3 minutes per side until the fish is browned and cooked through.
  3. While the fish is cooking, pour the leftover marinade in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Boil for about 5 minutes, until reduced.
  4. When the fish is done, flake it with a fork into smaller pieces and you are ready to assemble the tacos.
  5. Take a tortilla and top it with a good portion of fish, a tablespoon or so of the reduced marinade, a few tablespoons of the pineapple salsa, and a few teaspoons of the yogurt sauce.
  6. Roll it up and enjoy!
