FISH TACOS WITH AVOCADO DRESSING

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Fish     Side     Marinate     Avocado

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

9 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/3 palmful
Zest and juice of 2 limes
Salt
4 fresh halibut steaks or fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
Black pepper
1 10-ounce box frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 romaine heart, shredded
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, a generous handful, coarsely chopped
2 ripe Hass avocados
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (2 splashes-eyeball it)
A couple shakes of hot sauce, to taste (optional)
12 6-inch soft flour tortillas

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, the chili powder, the juice of 1 lime, and a little salt. Add the halibut and coat with the mixture. Let the fish marinate while you start the corn.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan. Add the onions, garlic, jalapeño, and a little salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the corn and chicken stock, bring it up to a bubble, then continue to cook for 2 minutes. Put the romaine and cilantro in a salad bowl, transfer the hot corn mixture to the bowl, and mix them together so the heat from the corn wilts the romaine. Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the stovetop over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO. Once hot, add the halibut to the skillet and cook it on each side for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Flake the fish into large chunks with a fork, then add it to the bowl with the corn and romaine.
  • While the fish is cooking, make the avocado dressing. Cut all around the ripe avocados down to the pit. Twist and separate the halved fruit. Remove the pit with a spoon, and then use a spoon to scoop the flesh into the bowl of a food processor. Add the zest of the 2 limes and the remaining juice of 1 lime to the food processor. Add the red wine vinegar and some salt. With the machine running, stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO and a couple of shakes of hot sauce. Stop the processor, taste the dressing, and adjust the seasonings with more salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.
  • Wipe out the skillet you cooked the halibut in. Place it over high heat and blister the tortillas in the dry pan for a few seconds on each side. As you remove them from the pan have a clean kitchen towel handy to wrap them in and help keep them warm and soft. You can also simply wrap the tortillas in a barely damp kitchen towel and heat them in the microwave until they are warm and supple.
  • To assemble, arrange a pile of the halibut-corn-romaine mixture on a warm tortilla, top it with a spoonful of the avocado dressing, wrap, and roll it up. Eat and enjoy.

Categories     Reynolds®

Time 28m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
1 cup plain yogurt
2 medium cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
4 (6 ounce) halibut fillets
1 medium lime
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
8 cups romaine lettuce
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 ½ cups tortilla strips
2 sheets Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

Steps:

  • Make the dressing by combining the avocado, yogurt, garlic, lime juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender. Blend until creamy (the dressing will be thick), then cover and refrigerate the dressing while you make the salad.
  • Preheat the grill for 10 minutes on medium heat. Prepare the foil packets by placing two halibut fillets on each sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Squeeze the lime juice atop the fillets, then sprinkle them with the cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fold and crimp the edges together to form sealed foil packets.
  • Place the foil packets on the grill, close the lid and grill the fish for 8 to 10 minutes or just until the fish flakes easily and is opaque throughout. Remove the foil packets from the grill and unwrap them.
  • Prepare the taco salad by layering the lettuce, beans, cheese, tomatoes and tortilla strips on serving plates. Arrange the grilled fish on top of the salads, drizzle with the avocado dressing and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of fish. For this recipe, a firm-fleshed fish like salmon, tuna, or swordfish works best. Avoid delicate fish like tilapia or sole, as they will fall apart during grilling.
  • Marinate the fish. Marinating the fish helps to add flavor and moisture. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs, or try a more complex marinade with spices and other ingredients.
  • Grill the fish to perfection. When grilling the fish, cook it over medium heat until it is cooked through but still moist. Avoid overcooking the fish, as this will make it dry and tough.
  • Make the avocado dressing. The avocado dressing is a creamy and flavorful addition to this salad. To make it, simply blend together avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  • Assemble the salad. To assemble the salad, simply combine the grilled fish, avocado dressing, mixed greens, red cabbage, tomatoes, and cilantro in a bowl. Toss to combine and serve.

Conclusion:

This grilled fish taco salad with avocado dressing is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The grilled fish is flavorful and moist, the avocado dressing is creamy and tangy, and the mixed greens, red cabbage, tomatoes, and cilantro add a refreshing crunch.
