“I grew up in Alaska where halibut was readily available for recipes like this. A good friend, who normally doesn’t eat fish, went back for fourth helpings of these flavorful tacos.” —Cortney Claeson, Spokane, Washington

30 10 40

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound halibut or tilapia fillets
  • SAUCE:
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, divided
  • 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • Dash cayenne pepper
  • SALSA:
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • TACOS:
  • 8 flour tortillas (6 inches)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, oil and garlic. Add the halibut; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • For sauce and salsa, peel and cube avocados. In a small bowl, mash 1/4 cup avocado. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Place remaining avocado in a small bowl; stir in the remaining salsa ingredients. Refrigerate sauce and salsa until serving.
  • Drain fish and discard marinade. Broil halibut 4-6 in. from the heat for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Place fish on the center of each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 cup cabbage, about 1 tablespoon sauce and 1/4 cup salsa. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

This will be my third time making these tacos. Easy to make, easy to eat. Tonight I'm trying Mahi Mahi instead of halibut.

My husband and I loved this recipe, especially the avocado sauce. Neither of us are huge lemon fans, so I threw that out of the marinade and substitued some cajun seasoning instead, which gave the fish a little kick.

I have made this several times. I leave the avacado out since not all of us like it. Sometimes I serve slices of it on the side. Our family loves these tacos and have requested them again today!

I didn't like the dill flavor in the sauce, I will leave that out next time. My broiler didn't work that well for the fish, so next time I will grill the fish.

My family raves about this recipe and requests it often! We add a splash of pineapple juice to the salsa for a little sweet.
