“We can’t get enough barbecued fish at our house. This recipe can be made in advance and served cold, or eaten hot off the grill. It’s fantastic either way!” —Martha Benoit, Proctorsville, Vermont

Ingredients

2 large ears sweet corn
1 teaspoon butter, softened
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 haddock fillet (8 ounces)
2 teaspoons chili powder, divided
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
3 tablespoons taco sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest

Meanwhile, sprinkle fish with 1 teaspoon chili powder. Lightly oil the grill rack. Grill fish, covered, over medium heat for 7-9 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

My husband loved these. I didn't have tomatoes or taco sauce, so I just used salsa. It's winter so, no cob either, just used frozen corn w/sea salt. We used multigrain taco shells. Made a really nice meal, tasted light & was filling.

This was DELICIOUS! It was light and filling. I didn't cook on grill but prepared inside and added some shrimp. One of our favorite meals!
