Honey-Lime Fish Tacos

We had Honey-Lime Fish Tacos for dinner tonight and everyone including all three of my LOs had seconds and thirds. DH said to make this again for sure. For the Sauce you heat up the marinade on the stove, which was delicious it has a sweet tart flavor. The fixings we topped our tacos with: coleslaw mix, chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, feta cheese, sredded cheddar cheese and sriracha. We used warmed corn tortillas for our tacos. This was sooo yummy! The only changes I made to the recipe was dredging the fish in panko crumbs instead of flour and baking the fish @ 425 for 8-12 minutes.

Ingredients:
6 (4-6oz) fillets tilapia
zest and juice of 2 limes
1 Tbsp olive oil + more for cooking
3 Tbsp honey
3/4 tsp salt + more for dredging
3/4 tsp pepper + more for dredging
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2c flour (white or whole wheat pastry flour work best) (we used panko)
small fajita-size flour tortillas (Corn tortillas)
shredded lettuce, cheese, or other favorite taco toppings

Directions:
Assemble marinade by combining lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a gallon-sized zip-top bag or shallow container with a lid. Add fish and marinate in the refrigerator anywhere from 30 minutes up to 24 hours*

When ready to cook, combine flour with a pinch of salt and pepper on a plate. Remove each fish fillet from the marinade and dredge lightly with the flour on both sides (just a light, light coating).

Heat 1-2 Tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook fillets 2 at a time for 3-4 minutes per side or until opaque and browned (this works best if you don’t disturb the fish much while letting it cook). Add additional oil to the pan if necessary.

While tilapia is cooking, make honey-lime sauce by pouring leftover marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 5-6 minutes until slightly reduced.

To serve, break fish into large pieces and serve in tortillas with honey-lime sauce, lettuce and other favorite toppings.
