Ingredients
- 1 pound hammerhead fish fillets
- Juice of 2 limes
- Juice of 1 orange
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- Lime wedges, for serving
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the hammerhead fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fish is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and place it directly on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is cooking, prepare the slaw. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice, and honey. Mix well to coat the cabbage.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
- To assemble the tacos, place a piece of grilled hammerhead fish on each tortilla. Top with the slaw and garnish with sliced jalapenos. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
- Enjoy your delicious hammerhead fish tacos!
