Grilled Tacos - Grilled Fish Tacos with Lime Slaw


Image From foodnetwork.com

2 1/2 cups shredded coleslaw mix
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
3/4 teaspoon sugar 
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for the grill
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds skinless grouper or other firm white fish, halved crosswise
8 corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro, Mexican crema and salsa verde, for serving

Toss the slaw mix, red onion, lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; set aside.

Preheat a grill to medium. Oil the grates. Mix the cayenne with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; rub all over the fish. Grill until well marked on the bottom and the fish releases easily from the grill, about 6 minutes. Flip and grill until cooked through, 4 to 6 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice or flake the fish. 

Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm on the grill, about 4 minutes. 

Divide the fish among the warm tortillas. Top with the slaw, cilantro, crema and salsa verde. Serve with lime wedges.
