Ingredients
For The Summer Salsa:
- 3 small Roma tomatoes finely chopped
- ½ jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- 1 ½ cups finely chopped fresh mango
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Fish:
- 1 ½ pounds cod or tilapia filets
- 4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil for the grill
For Assembly:
- 8 corn tortillas warmed
- 1 batch Fish Taco Sauce optional
- Chopped cilantro, for serving optional
- Hot sauce, for serving optional
Instructions
- Scrub grates of an outdoor grill completely clean, then preheat for direct grilling over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, make the Summer Salsa: In medium bowl, toss tomatoes, jalapeno, mango, onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt until well combined.
- Make the Fish: Rub both sides of fish with cumin, salt and pepper. Dip a rolled-up paper towel in a generous amount of oil, then use tongs to rub oil all over the clean, hot grill grates. Transfer fish to oiled grill. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until opaque throughout and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, turning once.
- To assemble, break fish into large chunks and divide over tortillas. Serve topped with Summer Salsa. Garnish with Fish Taco Sauce, extra cilantro and/or hot sauce, if desired.
