Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes to maximize the flavors.

Prepare the Salsa

In another bowl, combine the strawberries, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well.

Pro tip: Let the salsa chill while the fish marinates.

Preheat the BBQ

Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat. Make sure the grill is clean and oiled.

Pro tip: A hot grill prevents the fish from sticking.

Grill the Fish

Place the fish fillets on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F / 63°C by inserting a thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Pro tip: Avoid flipping the fish too much to keep it intact.

Heat the Tortillas

Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them on the BBQ during the last few minutes of cooking the fish.

Pro tip: This will make them soft and warm for assembly.

Assemble the Tacos

On each tortilla, add a portion of fish, some red cabbage, a spoonful of strawberry salsa, and a bit of sour cream.

Pro tip: Add a squeeze of lime for a fresh taste.

Serve

Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Pro tip: Pair with a refreshing drink for the perfect meal!
