Ingredients 1 pound ½ cup ½ tablespoon 1 teaspoon ½ teaspoon ¼ teaspoon 1 tablespoon 8 each
White firm fish (Mahi, grouper, snapper) Cornmeal Chili powder Cumin Salt Black pepper, ground Avocado oil Corn tortillas
Street Corn Salad: 3 each Ears of corn 1/2 cup Tomatoes, diced 1/4 cup Red onion, diced 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped 1/4 teaspoon Salt 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, ground 1 each Lime, juiced 1/2 tablespoon Chili powder 2 tablespoons Feta cheese, crumbled 1 each Jalapeno, minced, seeded
Method: • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; cut the fish crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips. • On a plate or shallow bowl, season the cornmeal with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. • Gently press the fish in the cornmeal, coating all sides. • Preheat sauté pan to medium-high heat. • Add avocado oil, allow to warm about 10 seconds. • Add the fish and cook, turning once, until the crust is golden brown, and the fish is cooked through, 2-4 minutes per side. • While the fish is cooking warm the tortillas. Place tortillas on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 45 seconds. • To prepare the Street Corn Salad: Preheat grill. (If you don’t want to fire up your grill, sauté the corn in a sauté pan on medium-high heat with no added oil. Sauté until lightly charred.) • Mark ears of corn on grill, just until slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes, rotating occasionally. • Remove corn from the grill. Once corn is cooler to the touch, shuck corn kernels. • In a bowl combine; corn, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice, chili powder, feta, and jalapeno. Serve the street corn salad warm or cold. • Once all of the fish is cooked, build your dream tacos!
