Fish Tacos with Mango & Salsa
Instructions
1. Prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
2. Place fish fillets (4) in a baking dish and drizzle olive oil (2 TBSP) and lime juice (2 TBSP) over the fillets and season with salt. Marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, in a large mixing bowl, gently combine the avocado, mango, onion, jalapeno, cilantro (¼ cup), basil (¼ cup), remaining olive oil (1 TBSP) and lime juice (2 TBSP). Add cumin (1 tsp), salt (½ tsp) and pepper (¼ tsp) and set aside at room temperature.
4. Brush grill rack with melted coconut oil (2 TBSP) (you could alternatively cook the fish in a cast iron pan over the grill). Grill fish until just opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
5. Transfer fish to plates and break fillets up a bit, serving on corn tortillas. Spoon salsa over fish and squeeze a lime wedge over each. Serve warm and enjoy!
