Directions  

  • Pat fish dry and check for bones. Place into a resealable plastic bag; set aside  

  • In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, cumin, Creole Tang Seasoning Blend and garlic powder  

  • Pour over the fish, seal the bag and gently massage to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 20-30 minutes.  

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent fish from sticking.  

  • Grill fish filets for 3-4 minutes per side, using a long-handled grill spatula to turn. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Transfer fish to a clean plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving. *If using a more delicate fish like tilapia, I recommend using a grill basket or other type of grill pad to keep the fish from breaking and falling through the grates.  

  • To serve, break the fish up into large chunks and place onto warm tortillas. Top with fish sauce, shredded cabbage, and any other desired toppings.  

Fish Taco Sauce:  

  • Combine ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
