“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.

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.

These tacos were delicious! I left out the dill and made my own pico de gallo for the relish. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Sauce had a little too much dill in it... otherwise, so yummy!

Made exactly as written but added mangoes and a little lemon juice to the salsa. Also, I make my own chipotle mayo as a second sauce option because we love spicy foods:

1/2 cup light mayonnaise

2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (find in the International/Mexican food aisle)

1 tablespoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Place the mayonnaise, chilies, adobo sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper together in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Cover, and refrigerate until needed.

My in-laws have asked me to make this 3 times now when they come to visit and every time I make it for friends they rave over how delicious, fresh, and unique it is. Its a meal that really stands out!
