Ingredients

For the Fish:

  • 2 pounds Alaskan Pacific Cod
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

For the Fish Taco Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • juice of half a fresh lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For Serving

Instructions

  • Place cod in cool water to thaw completely.
  • Pat fish dry with paper towels.
  • Mix olive oil with lemon juice and brush over both sides of fish.
  • Combine garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over fish.
  • Prepare a grill fire to about 300° with pecan or oak for smoke flavor.
  • Place fish over indirect fire, using a grill pan if needed. Cook with the lid closed for 10 minutes. Start checking the fish with a meat thermometer, cooking until it reaches 145° in the middle. Fish will be flaky when it's cooked through.
