Fish Tacos with Lime Sauce Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by LRay

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound fresh or frozen tilapia or catfish fillets
3 limes
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 taco shells or 6-inch flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup carrot, shredded, about 1 medium carrot
1 fresh jalapeño or serrano chile pepper, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into 1-inch pieces. For sauce, juice two of the limes into a small bowl; cut the remaining lime into wedges and reserve for serving. Stir mayonnaise and chili powder into lime juice. Transfer 1/3 cup of the sauce to a medium bowl. Add fish; toss gently to coat. In a shallow dish combine flour and salt. Dip fish in flour mixture, tossing to coat. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Cook fish, about one-third at a time, in hot oil for 2 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning to brown evenly and adding more oil as necessary during cooking. Drain on paper towels. Fill taco shells (if using) with fish, cabbage, carrot, and jalapeño pepper. If using tortillas, lay each tortilla on a flat surface; sprinkle ingredients down center. Fold sides over filling. Serve with the remaining sauce and the reserved lime wedges.

GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH KEY LIME SAUCE



Grilled Fish Tacos with Key Lime Sauce image

These fish tacos with a crunchy slaw and creamy, tangy sauce really hit the spot. Key limes are smaller, tarter and more aromatic than Persian limes and worth seeking out, but you can definitely use regular limes instead.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 cups shredded red cabbage
4 Key limes or 1 lime, juiced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 medium jalapeno, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 Key limes or 2 limes, juiced
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Grapeseed oil, for the grill or grill pan and for drizzling
1 1/2 pounds skinless white fish fillets, such as rockfish, snapper, grouper or cod
Ground cumin, for sprinkling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 small flour tortillas
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Cilantro leaves, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the slaw: Combine the cabbage, lime juice, scallions, jalapeno and cilantro in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes, toss again and season again to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. (The longer it sits the better it gets.)
  • Preheat the grill over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F or heat a grill pan over medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
  • Meanwhile, for the key lime sauce: Whisk the lime juice, mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • For the fish and assembly: Place the fish on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle both sides with oil then liberally sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper until both sides are coated. Grill the fish until you see grill marks and the flesh is white and easily flakes with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness. (It's okay if the fish breaks since it will be broken up into large chunks for the tacos.) Transfer to a plate.
  • Grill the tortillas until lightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
  • Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the slaw, followed by some of the fish broken into large chunks. Drizzle with sauce, top with a scattering of the tomatoes and a sprinkling of cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound tilapia fillets (about 4)
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 (16.3 oz) can Pillsbury(R) Grands!(R) Homestyle refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from 7-ounce can), finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup sour cream

  • On a work surface, mix the flour and cornmeal. Separate the dough into 8 biscuits. Press both sides of each biscuit into the flour mixture, then press or roll into 6 to 7-inch rounds.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil over medium heat. Add 2 biscuit rounds and cook about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Place on a cookie sheet and keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining rounds, adding 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil to the skillet for each batch. Wipe the skillet clean.
  • Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and lime juice mixture, chipotle chiles, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook about 5 minutes, turning fish once, until fish flakes easily with fork.
  • In a small bowl, mix the salsa, sour cream, and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish and divide evenly among the biscuit rounds. Top each round with shredded cabbage and 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa mixture. Fold the biscuit rounds in half over filling. Serve with any remaining salsa mixture. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.
