1

Prepare the fish

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.

2

Make the zesty marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped cilantro, cumin, paprika, lime zest, and olive oil. Give it a good stir until well mixed. Pour the marinade over the fish fillets, making sure they're evenly coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3

Prepare the toppings

Slice red cabbage into thin strips, dice ripe tomatoes, chop fresh cilantro, and thinly slice red onions. Squeeze some lime juice over the cabbage and toss to combine. Set aside.

4

Heat up the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

5

Grill the fish

Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.

6

Warm up the tortillas

While the fish is grilling, warm up your tortillas. You can heat them directly on the grill for a smoky flavor or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

7

Assemble your zesty fish tacos

Place a grilled fish fillet on a warm tortilla. Top with the prepared cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and red onions. Drizzle some of your favorite hot sauce or a squeeze of lime juice for an extra zing. Fold the taco in half and enjoy!
