Fish Taco's

Mahi Mahi, Talipia, of other solid white fish
Tortillas
Shredded Cabbage
Shredded Cheese
Grape Tomatoes (halved)
Black Olives
Chopped Onions (red or green onions are best)
Guacamole (optional)
Fish Taco Sauce (below)

Marinade

2 - 3 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 - 3 T lime juice
1 T Old Bay or Mrs Dash Seasoning
Salt and Pepper

Mix these four ingredients in a 1 gal size bag, cut the fish into 1” strips (the strips work well with your tortillas) and marinate the fish for about 30 minutes.  Bake fish at 350 for 15 minutes or until cook throughout.  Meanwhile make the Fish Taco Sauce.

Fish Taco Sauce

1/2 C Mayo
1/2 C Sour Cream
2 T spicy brown mustard (I use a spicy, grainy mustard)
2 T any spicy sauce ( I use Boar’s Head Cajun)
3 T chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients well and put in a bowl to spoon over the tacos after they have been assembled.


Warm tortillas, serve buffet style and allow each person to assemble their own taco’s.

Serve with Cilantro Rice or Yellow Rice  and Refried Bean or Black Beans 

Enjoy!!!


Lemon Curd 

1 cup sugar
3 eggs, large
1 cup fresh lemon juice
zest of 3 large lemons
1 stick butter (do not substitute), melted

 1 Grab a medium sized, microwave safe bowl, melt butter ... cool, add sugar and eggs and whisk until very smooth
2 Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice ... yummy
3 Pop in the microwave and cook, on high, for 2 minutes
4 Stir and cook for 1 minute, on high
5 Repeat step 4 until the curd is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. You can also us a candy thermometer to check the temp. Lemon Curd is the perfect consistency at 196F
6 When you’ve reached the perfect consistency, cover the mixture with cling wrap placed directly on the surface of the curd.
7 Refrigerate until set, a few hours.

 Wasn’t that simple ... makes about 2 1/4 Cups and is fabulous on toast, on top of ice cream, as a layer filling for cake, injected into cupcakes, or my favorite .... fresh berries, topped with lemon curd, topped with granola and whipped cream ...
