Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Guacamole and Cabbage Slaw

Rate & Review

(372 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Fish tacos are a staple among California surfers but are often beer-battered and fried. Kerry Simon’s healthier, grilled version enriches the guacamole with low-fat sour cream.

Pairing Suggestion

Fish tacos automatically bring to mind California and Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Go for a coastal Chardonnay as a match—cool ocean winds tend to give grapes good acidity, creating tangy wines that are delicious with creamy guacamole. The focused, lemony 2005 Ramey Sonoma Coast is a great choice, as is the peachy 2006 Cambria Katherine’s Vineyard.

Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Guacamole and Cabbage Slaw

Great recipe with a few modifications: seasoned the fish with smoked paprika in addition to the salt/pepper to punch up the flavor, broiled for ease instead of grilling, added 1-2 tbs of mayo to the slaw instead of oil, and used corn tortillas heated in the oven instead of flour. I used dover sole and think you could use any white fish. Serve with a few coronas or crisp sauv blanc. Definitely a winner in our house!

I used Wahoo instead of snapper and I baked it instead of grilled (I don't have a grill) but the guacamole with the yogurt gave it a great texture and it turned out great.

While I do credit this recipie for getting me to "think outside the bun" I agree with uvakat, the fish tacos were a little disappointing to me. The cut of fish a little pricey for the hamburger/hotdog crowd. I'd suggest grilled shrimp or flank steak above this fish - other dishes from this article were a great hit. This was a hit, but a sublime meal. I wasn't wowwed. It could have had more crunch, more spice. salt.
