Or, wrap a stack of them in parchment-lined foil and warm in a 400-degree oven for 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the freshest fish tacos, use fresh fish fillets or steaks. If using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To get the most flavor from the fish, marinate it in the garlic-lime marinade for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Grill the fish over medium-high heat until it is cooked through and flaky. Do not overcook the fish, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish tacos immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cabbage.
  • Garnish the tacos with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.

Grilled Garlic Lime Fish Tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner. The fish is flavorful and flaky, and the toppings add a variety of flavors and textures. These tacos are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
