Grilled Fish Tacos with Avocado-Lime Crema

Ingredients:

For Avocado-Lime Crema:

3/4 cup sour cream

1/2 avocado

1 lime, zest plus 2 TBSP juice

2-3 TBSP cilantro, chopped

For Fish Tacos:

1 pound halibet

2-3 tsp. fish seasoning/rub (we like to use Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic Seasoning)*

8-10 corn or flour tortillas

*Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic Seasoning is one of the best seafood seasonings out there.  If you have trouble finding it in a grocery store you can purchase it here Amazon: Paul Prudhommes Seafood Magic Seasoning

1.  In a blender combine all ingredients for the crema (sour cream, avocado, cilantro, lime zest and juice).  Blend until smooth.  You can either serve this immediately or you can make it ahead of time and set in fridge.

2.  Heat your grill to high heat.  Take the fish out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before grilling.  Pat fish dry with a paper towel.  Sprinkle Seafood Magic Seasoning over both sides of the fish until fish is  covered.  

3.  Before you put your fish on the grill, either spray with grill oil or dip paper towels in olive oil and grease the grill.  Lay fish down directly on grill grate.  Grill one side for 5-6 minutes.  Flip the fish and grill on other side for 5-6 minutes.  Remove fish from grill and put in a serving bowl or plate.  Using tongs and a knife pull apart the fish.

**A nice touch is while the fish is grilling throw the tortillas on the grill.  They will cook quickly about 1 minute on each side.  Keep warm in a towel or a tortilla warmer.
