Hello, fish tacos!

This recipe came about because I had a whole trout in the freezer, I love tacos, and who doesn’t like to eat w/ their hands?!  The best part about this meal, besides it being tacos, I designed the plating to be shared.  Share w/ your friends, fun for the kids, fun w/ a bae, or if you’re greedy, like me, share w/ ya gawd damn self !!! Bloop .

Anywho, although I’m giving you a recipe, this is actually a method so swap out things as you’d like & enjoy!

 

Pineapple Salsa:

1/4 cup cubed pineapple

1/2 of a Roma tomato chopped & seeded (take out all the seeds)

1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion

1/4 teaspoon minced jalapeño pepper

Juice from half a lime

salt & black pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a bowl & enjoy !

 

Guacamole:

1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon finely chopped Roma tomato

1/2 teaspoon garlic paste (see post on garlic butter – please & thank you)

Juice from 1 lime

1 avocado

salt, black pepper, & red pepper to taste

Mix & mash all ingredients until combined & enjoy !

*don’t mash too much, I like it chunky

** No I didn’t add cilantro b/c I don’t like it ! Taste like dirty dish water to me – this is not up for debate

 

Corn Salsa:

1 fresh corn on the cob

1/4 teaspoon garlic paste

1 teaspoon finely chopped white onion

1 small jalapeno

Juice from 1/2 a lime

1/2 of a Roma tomato chopped & seeded

salt & black pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. Roast corn (for 15 minutes) and jalapeño (for 10 minutes)
3. Cut the jalapeño in half and remove the seeds.  Once the seeds are removed, cut each half into thirds and chop.
4. Cut the corn kernels off the cob.
5. Mix all ingredients in a bowl & enjoy.

 

Roast Fish:

*again this is a method, roast the fish of your liking

(I had the guy at the seafood counter remove the head and the bones out of my fish.)

I smeared the inside with leftover garlic paste, seasoned the inside of the fish with; seasoning salt, red pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder. Keep it simple due to all the toppings above.  I then rubbed one side of the fish w/ olive oil so that I could get a crispy skin.

On the lower rack of my oven, I put some aluminum foil.  On the upper rack, I put the whole fish on the rack (nothing under it) oil side up.

Roast the fish for 15-17 minutes in a 450 degree oven.

 

 

-Enjoy All Things !
