A quick and easy recipe for grilled white fish tacos topped with a refreshing lime crema, perfect for a light and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 to 10 small corn or flour tortillas
  • About 2 cups shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, pickled jalapeños, diced red onion, fresh tomatoes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the white fish fillets in the marinade, making sure they’re evenly coated. Cover and let rest in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. While the fish marinates, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), 1 tablespoon lime juice, lime zest, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  4. Place the marinated fish fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a nice golden crust.
  5. Briefly warm the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted. Keep them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm and soft.
  6. Flake the grilled fish into bite-sized pieces. Place a generous handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, top with fish, drizzle lime crema over everything, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Add any optional toppings as desired.

Notes

Do not over-marinate the fish to avoid changing its texture. Oil grill grates well to prevent sticking. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Lime crema tastes better after chilling for 30 minutes. Warm tortillas just before serving to keep them soft.
