Fish tacos on a plate - Grilled fish tacos

Pair fish tacos with pineapple salsa for a delicious tropical twist.

You know fish is a healthy meal choice, but let’s be honest: Fish can be bland. Eating it batter-dipped and deep-fried puts it squarely in the “unhealthy” category.

It doesn’t have to be either-or, though. You can have healthy fish that tastes good, too. Grilled fish tacos fit the bill. Pair these fish tacos with this featured Shine365 pineapple salsa recipe for a delicious tropical twist.

You can order the seasoning in this recipe online or look for a grilling seasoning in your local grocery store. Try Mrs. Dash®, which comes in a variety of flavors and is a healthy, tasty choice.

Grilled Fish Tacos

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Simply Organic Seafood® Grilling Seasons 2.2 oz.
  • 1-1/2 pounds flaky white fish (such as snapper, mahi mahi or cod)
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 8 soft corn tortillas

Instructions

In a large storage bag combine 1/2 cup olive oil, cilantro, and lime juice from one lime, lime zest and seafood seasoning. Place the fish in the bag and seal. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

Heat the grill to medium-high. Remove the fish from the marinade. Grill the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove fish from grill, let sit for a few minutes, then flake it with a fork.
