Easy Fish Tacos with Tomato & Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredients
SALSA
2 cups / 500 ml halved cherry tomatoes
1 large avocado, diced
1/2 cup / 125 ml finely chopped cilantro
1 tbsp / 15 ml finely chopped mint
pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
FISH
2 tsp / 10 ml olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp / 10 ml grated fresh ginger root
1 lb / 454 g firm white fish, such as halibut or haddock, cut into 1.5 inch (4 cm) cubes
2 tbsp / 25 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
1/8 tsp / 0.5 ml coarse sea salt
4 7-inch soft whole-wheat or corn tortillas

Directions

In a small bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, mint and red pepper flakes.  Set aside.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.  When pan is hot, add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds.  Add fish and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, heat tortillas over low heat until soft.

Arrange each warmed tortilla on a plate. Evenly distribute fish between four tortillas; top each with one-quarter of the salsa mixture.  Fold up bottom of tortilla and wrap sides around fish mixture. 

Serves 4. Serve with lime wedges.
