My husband enjoys fishing off the Channel Islands. Today he caught a bunch of rockfish. Guess what we had for dinner? There's really nothing like fresh fish!
INGREDIENTS
4 Rockfish Fillets Skinned and De-Boned
Fish Marinade (see recipe below)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil (for cooking the fish)
2 Tbs Butter or Margarine (for cooking the fish)
1/8 Head of Green Cabbage, chopped
1/8 Head of Red Cabbage, chopped
1 Tomato, diced
1/2 White Onion, diced
1 Avocado, diced
1/2 Bunch of Cilantro, chopped
1 Jalapeño, sliced
Limes, cut into wedges
Sour Cream (optional)
Corn or Flour Tortillas, toasted
MARINADE
2 Tsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbs Parsley, Chopped
1 Clove Garlic, Grated or Minced
¾ Tsp Kosher Salt
½ Tsp Black Pepper
½ Tsp White Pepper
For a complete meal, I like to serve this dish with black beans and homemade Mexican rice.
DIRECTIONS
Prep the marinade by chopping the parsley
Grate or mince the garlic
In a Ziploc bag, place the lemon juice, parsley, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and white pepper
Add the fish
Seal the bag and gently rub all of the ingredients together so the fish is well coated
Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes
While the fish is marinating, chop the cabbage, tomato, onion, avocado, cilantro, and jalapeño
In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil and once heated, add 1 Tbs of butter
Add the fish, presentation side down and cook for 2-3 minutes
Flip the fish over; add the remaining 1 Tbs of butter, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes
Be sure the fish is no longer translucent
Remove from skillet and place on serving platter
Serve family style and let everyone make their own tacos!
