Recipe for Fish Tacos

We're trying new recipes using fish on Wind Raven now so we get some variety in what we'll be eating at sea. Here is one for Halibut tacos that have the "Jay Reese" (discerning chef and taste tester) seal of approval. I bet you can use manmy types of seafood for this recipe. This receipe is from the magazine Taste of Home.

Halibut Soft Tacos

1 medium mango, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup cubed avocado
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 Tbsp. chopped jalapeno pepper
1 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro (optional-I made mine without cause I don't like cilantro much)
3 tsp olive oil
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. honey
1 lb. Halibut steaks
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
4 bibb lettuce leaves
4 flour or corn tortillas, warmed
4 tsp. sweet Thai chili sauce
-------------------------------------
In a small bowl combine the mango, avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, 2 tsp. oil, lemon juice and honey; set aside. Brush halibut with remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook halibut on grill or skillet with a little cooking spray, covered over high heat- 3-4 minutes each side till fish flakes easily with fork.

Place lettuce leaves on tortillas; top with fish and mango mixture. Drizzle with chili sauce.

(each taco equals 330 calories)

These were quick to prepare and very yummy.
