Grilled Flounder Tacos

Author: Nicki Sizemore

Ingredients

  • 1 pound wild flounder fillets
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ jalapeño , seeded and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves , minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Zest from 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice from quarter lime
  • Cilantro sprigs for serving , optional
  • Homemade corn tortillas
  • Toppings , such as: fresh tomato salsa (see below), guacamole or avocado slices, lime crema (see below) or sour cream, slivered radishes and/or pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Line the flounder filets in a large dish. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the jalapeño, garlic, cumin and lime zest evenly over the fish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top and sprinkle with the juice from a quarter lime. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Place the fish in an oiled fish basket and grill over medium-high heat until just cooked through; it will only take a couple of minutes on each side.
  • To serve, transfer the fish to a platter with a few sprigs of cilantro. Serve the fish flaked into warm corn tortillas with the toppings of your choice.
