Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lime (zested and juiced)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
- 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 0.25 tsp salt (for salsa)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a grill on medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade for the fish.
Brush the marinade generously onto both sides of the fish fillets.
If baking, place the fish on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, grill the fish for 3-4 minutes per side.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in foil and place them in the oven for 5 minutes.
Once the fish is cooked, use a fork to gently break it into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the tacos by placing pieces of fish onto warm tortillas, then topping with the mango salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
