Fish Tacos w/ Mango Peach Salsa

 

1 pound firm white fish, such as tilapia or mahi mahi

2 limes, halved

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

¼ cup of sour cream

¼ cup of mayo

¼ teaspoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon chipotle powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 small head of cabbage, cored and thinly sliced

1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

6 to 8 soft (6-inch) corn tortillas

Peach mango salsa, for garnish

Hot Sauce

 

Place the fish in a baking dish. Season fish with garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon of oil to skillet.  Pan sear the fish for 3-4 minute on both side (thickness will determine the cook time). The fish will become flaky when done

 

In a medium bowl combine the cabbage and cilantro squeeze a whole lime over it. Season slaw with chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary; set aside.

 

Warm the tortillas by heating a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time, flipping to warm both sides, about 5 minutes total. Wrap the warm tortillas in a clean dishcloth and set aside while you prepare the fish.

 

To construct a taco, break up some of the cooked fish, place it in a warm tortilla, and top it with slaw, peach mango salsa, hot sauce and desired garnishes.
