Fish Taco Sauce

I like to make Bonnie's cajun Tilapia recipe and then use the leftovers for fish tacos. What really makes them is the sauce.

small flour tortillas
shredded cabbage or bag of coleslaw mix
cajun fish, chopped up
fish taco sauce:
1/2 C plain yogurt
1/2 C mayo
1 lime, juiced (abt 1-2 Tbsp)
1 tsp minced capers
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
1 tsp cayenne pepper

I try to mix up the sauce a couple of hours before dinner, but it isnt neccessary. Also, if you want it spicier (this is spicy enough for me) you can add a minced jalapeno pepper.

Then just assemble: flour tortilla, some fish, some sauce and some cabbage.

Christmas Fish

This is my new favorite fish recipe. It is so good and pretty easy too.

Ingredients

¾ pound tilapia, sole or halibut fillets

4 tablespoon butter, melted

½ cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated lime zest

1 ½ teaspoon dried dill

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

1 carrot, peeled and cut into small pieces

1 celery stark, cut into small pieces

¼ teaspoon paprika

Pat the fillets dry and spread them on a baking sheet.

Combine the butter, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, garlic, lime zest, dill, salt, pepper, carrot and celery in a bowl. Spread mixture across each fillet, roll the fillet, and secure with a toothpick.

Place the fillets, rolled sides down, in the baking dish. Sprinkle the tops of each fillet with paprika and the remaining 2 T Parmesan cheese. Bake on the top rack for 30 minutes.

When done, turn the oven to broil and place the fish under the boiler for 2 to3 minutes to brown the tops.

Yield: 3-4 servings
