Preparation
Step 1
1. For yogurt crema: whisk yogurt (or light sour cream), 1/2 tsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp lime zest, honey, garlic powder, cilantro, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve (makes a good amount so probably won’t use all if making 4 tacos).
Step 2
2. In a small bowl combine cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper, if using. Cut fish into 4 filets; sprinkle seasoning, salt and pepper on both sides and gently rub into flesh with hands.
Step 3
3. Heat a large sauté pan, or grill, over medium-high heat. Add oil and sauté fish 2-3 minutes per side (depending on thickness) or until cooked through. While fish cooks warm corn tortillas in a separate pan or on grill.
Step 4
4. Top each of 4 warm tortillas with one fish filet, about 1-2 Tbsp pico or salsa, 1/4 avocado, and drizzle with 1-2 Tbsp crema and a little lime. Serving size, one taco with toppings. enjoy!
