For dinner last night I made the family fish tacos with tomatillo sauce. The recipe is from "Cooking Light" and I made a few minor tweaks since the recipe calls for cilantro and I HATE cilantro. The recipe also calls for a medium jalapeno pepper, I used a Serrano pepper in place because I am a wuss when it comes to heat, my brother said the tacos could of used some spice.
Fish Tacos with Tomatillo Sauce
(Slightly adapted from Cooking Light)
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1/2 medium Serrano pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of crushed oregano
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 3/8 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Cooking spray
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- Preparation
- 1. Preheat broiler to high.
- 2. Arrange garlic, tomatillos, and serrano in a single layer on a foil-lined jelly-roll pan. Broil 3 minutes on each side or until blackened.

- Combine tomatillo mixture, oregano, mayonnaise, sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor or blender; blend until smooth.

- 3. Combine cabbage, juice, and oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat.
- 4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add fish to pan; cook 2 minutes. Turn fish over; cook 1 minute.
- 5. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, heat tortillas over medium-high heat directly on the eye of a burner for about 15 seconds on each side or until lightly charred. Arrange half of a tilapia fillet in center of each tortilla; top each with 1/4 cup cabbage mixture, about 1 1/2 tablespoons tomatillo mixture
