Grilled Fish Tacos with Sriracha Sour Cream




It's grilling time folks!

Actually, I live in the desert so pretty much everyday is grilling day.



I am highly prepared this summer with my outdoor cooking equipment.

I have my smoker, charcoal grill, and my new George Foreman Indoor Outdoor Grill for my daughter. 

This is a really simple dish. I took whitefish fillets and marinated them for about 15 minutes in citrus juices, spices, and a little olive oil.

Grill the fish for about 6-7 minutes per side.


While the fish was marinating, I made a Sriracha sour cream sauce by mixing sour cream with sriracha hot sauce.

This sauce is surprisingly not spicy, the sour cream cools off the sriracha.


I served the tacos with shredded cabbage, lots of cheese and a squeeze of lime juice.


Big Goo decided that I needed more lemon juice, so I squeezed extra lemon on top as well.

I will admit he was correct, the extra lemon kicked the tacos up!

Everyone in my house is a food critic, I am used to it, it's my fault for always asking their opinion.


All done and ready to chow down!

Enjoy!

  2. I only see smoked whitefish at my grocery store. Did you use raw? Is there another fish that would work with this?

    1. SMC, a nice cod or mahi mahi would work. I use Alaskan Salmon, pretty much any fish I like I use. If it's too thin use foil to stop it from falling though the grates on the grill.
