My brother-in-law has a new hobby, which is fishing. Actually, it does not do him justice to call it a hobby, it is more like an obsession. He is now a fishing addict.

For his birthday, my sister advanced his addiction further by booking a special fishing trip to Alaska for the two of them. I watched their two young children during their birthday celebration.

When they returned, I was richly rewarded with LOTS of fish. The good kind. We got lots of halibut, some cod, and salmon. All nicely packed in vacuum sealed bags stored in a large ice chest.

I got to find new ways to eat up all this fish. One new way I came up with is fish tacos.

Ingredients:

1) Fish. (I am using my halibut, you can also use cod, mahi mahi, etc.)
2) Cilantro-finely chopped
3) One clove of garlic-finely chopped
4) Lime
5) White flour
6) Tortilla
7) Lettuce (should be cabbage, but none of us like to eat raw cabbage)
Red onion-thinly sliced (use half)
9) Shredded carrot
10) Salt
11) Pepper
12) Olive oil
13) Chipotle-lime ranch (optional)

Optional topping: guacamole

Guacamole is easy to make. Click here for recipe.

Preparation:

Fish:

* Marinate the fish with salt & pepper, cilantro, garlic, lime juice (use about half of the lime), and olive oil. Let sit in refrigerator for about an hour

* Coat the fish with white flour, and fully cook in the frying pan with olive oil.

Salad:

*Mix the lettuce, shredded carrot, and red onion.

*Season with salt & pepper, lime juice (just squeeze the amount according to taste), and olive oil

*optional: add Chipotle-lime ranch dressing

Fish Taco:

*Warm both sides of the tortilla in a frying pan (no need to add oil)

*Add salad onto the tortilla

*Add fish onto taco

*optional: add Chipolet-lime ranch dressing

*optional: add guacamole

*Serve with a side of the salad

Enjoy!
