Cumin-spiced Mahi Mahi with Nectarine-Avocado Salsa

As you may have noticed, I'm a big fan of fish tacos. I will put as many yummy fish-taco recipes on this blog as possible. Fish tacos are something that I grew to love later in life (like, within the past 2-3 years) and now I can't stop eating them. That, and shrimp burritos. Love 'em! Hope you do too.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 (4-ounce) mahi mahi fillets
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • Cooking spray
  • Nectarine-Avocado Salsa
  • Zesty Sour Cream
Preparation

Combine first 6 ingredients, and sprinkle over all surfaces of the fish. Grill fish, skin side up, on lightly oiled grates over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) for 4 minutes. Turn fish over, and grill 4 minutes or until fish becomes opaque and begins to flake. Remove skin, and break fish into chunks.

Lightly coat tortillas with cooking spray, and grill 1 to 2 minutes each side.

Fill each tortilla with fish and top with Nectarine-Avocado Salsa and Zesty Sour Cream. Serve immediately.
