- Cumin

- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced

- Swordfish fillets
- 2 (6-ounce) fillets
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the marinade by combining lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place the swordfish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are fully coated and let them marinate for 10 minutes.
- Grill the swordfish fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are cooked through and easily flake with a fork.
- Remove the swordfish from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces using a fork.
- While the fish is resting, prepare the salad topping. In a separate bowl, combine shredded cabbage, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Season with a pinch of salt.
- For the lime crema, combine sour cream, lime zest, and hot sauce in another small bowl.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop until they are soft and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing some flaked swordfish on each tortilla, topping with the cabbage mixture, and drizzling with the lime crema.
- Serve the swordfish tacos immediately, with additional lime wedges and hot sauce on the side for those who like an extra kick.
Tips
- For an extra punch of flavor, consider pickling the red onions before adding them to the salad topping.
- If swordfish is not available, you can substitute it with other firm white fish like halibut or mahi mahi.
