Brooklyn Fish Tacos

​Complexity: Has a few components – marinate the fish, make the salsa, cook the fish, and then assemble tacos.
Time: 30 minutes prep, 2 hours marinating, and then 15 minutes cooking.

Ingredients

For the salsa
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (2 medium oranges)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 medium limes)
  • 1 small red onion, quartered lengthwise and very thinly sliced crosswise (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 habanero chile, seeded and minced (about 1-1/2 tsp.)
  • 1-1/2 tsp. dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 ripe mango, cut into medium dice (about 1 cup)
For the fish
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. dried Mexican oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 Tbs. fresh orange juice
  • 1 Tbs. fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbs. olive oil; more as needed
  • 1-1/2 lb. mahi mahi, tilapia, cod, orange roughy, or other white fish fillets
For assembly
  • Vegetable oil for the grill
  • 12 6-inch corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 ripe avocados, thinly sliced

Directions

​Make the salsa:
  1. Combine the orange and lime juices, onion, chile, oregano, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Cover and refrigerate until the onion begins to turn pink, about 2 hours. Stir in the mango.
Marinate the fish:
  1. Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Mix spices with the orange and lime juices and olive oil. Stir until well combined. Rub the marinade all over the fish.
  3. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Assemble the tacos:
  1. Prepare a medium (350°F to 375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire for direct grilling. Oil the grill grate. Working in batches, heat the tortillas in a single layer, turning once, until soft with light grill marks. Stack in a cloth-lined basket or plate and wrap to keep warm.
  2. Brush both sides of the fish with olive oil and lightly season with salt. Grill, turning once or twice until just cooked through (the fish should flake slightly when you lift it with a spatula underneath), 8 to 12 minutes total.
  3. If you don’t have a grill, cook the fish in the oven instead at 350°. Cook 8 to 12 minutes until fish flakes when lifted with a fork.
  4. Transfer the fish to a cutting board. Shred the fish with a fork. Distribute among the tortillas, and use a slotted spoon to top each with salsa. Garnish with the avocado slices and serve.
