Fish

• 1½ lb firm white fish (mahi-mahi or cod)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• juice of 1 lime

• 1 tsp chili powder

• ½ tsp cumin

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp kosher salt

• 2 cups shredded green and purple cabbage

• ¼ cup chopped cilantro

• ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 tbsp lime juice

• 1 tsp hot sauce

• salt to taste

• 8 small corn tortillas

• lime wedges

• sliced jalapeño (optional)

1. Mix oil, lime juice and spices; coat fish and refrigerate 15 minutes while preparing slaw.

2. Combine cabbage and cilantro. Stir yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice and hot sauce into a smooth sauce. Toss some with the slaw; reserve the rest for drizzling.

3. Preheat grill to medium-high, about 400–450°F. Oil grates well or use a grill-safe fish basket.

4. Grill fish about 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until opaque and 145°F internally.

5. Flake into large pieces. Warm tortillas and fill with fish, cabbage slaw and sauce. Finish with lime.

A fish basket makes turning delicate fillets easier. Keep the sauce chilled until serving.
