fish tacos

i lived in san diego for a few years and now that i'm back in seattle i have a hard time finding good fish tacos.  so when i had my girlfriends over for dinner {who also lived in southern california} i decided to make them the best fish tacos i could come up with.

1.5 lbs of white fish
4 tbls olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice {that's the juice of about 1 lime}
1 tsp dried oregano
salt + pepper 

place fish in a large glass dish.  whisk together olive oil, lime juice, oregano, salt and pepper.  pour over the fish and allow to marinate for 15-30 minutes.

preheat oven to 400 degrees.  heat an oven proof skillet over medium-high heat.  place the fish, skin side down and grill for 2 minutes.  flip over and grill for 2 more minutes.  finish in the oven for 3-5 minutes.  let rest for 5 minutes.  flake the fish with a fork.

serve with flour or corn tortillas, cabbage, cheese,salsa, guacamole, lime wedges or your other favorite taco toppings.

 

i love squeezing fresh lime on my fish before adding the toppings.
