Ingredients
  

  • 2 Pounds of Monkfish Filets portion them out so each filet is about the 4 inches long
  • 2 Tsp. Cumin
  • 1 Tsp. Coriander
  • 1 Tsp. Paprika
  • 1 Tsp. Chili Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Onion Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. Lime Juice
  • 1 Fresh Lime
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter
  • Flour or Corn Tortillas

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Mix the monkfish with all of the spices and lime juice, let sit for just about 3 to 5 minutes, be careful to not wait too long, your lime juice will cook the fish a little if you wait too long.
  2. Step 2- Heat the butter in a non-stick pan, so it's foaming.
  3. Step 3- In batches add your monkfish filets, brown each side, cook for about 3 to 5 minutes a side. Test to see if one's cooked, should be white all the way through and slightly fluffy, you don't want it to be chewy.
  4. Step 4-Once the fish is cooked, use a fresh lime and squeeze some juice on it for good measure.
  5. Step 5- Plate your tacos with your tortillas and enjoy!
