Ingredients
- Salsa:
- 2 medium oranges, peeled and segmented
- 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro or 2 Tbsp. dried cilantro
- Crushed red pepper flakes, if desired
- Salt, if desired
- 6 Alaska Pollock fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
- 2 Tbsp. olive, canola, peanut or grapeseed oil
- 1 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 12 thin corn tortillas (6 to 8 inch)
Directions
- Prepare salsa: Cut oranges and avocados into 1/2 inch chunks. Combine with lime juice, onions, and cilantro in bowl. Add pepper flakes and salt to taste, set aside.
- Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Pollock fillets under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Brush both sides of fillets with oil. Place fillets in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 minutes until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.
- Turn fillets over; cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 2 to 5 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
- Season with lemon pepper. Sprinkle fillets with lime juice, break into small chunks. Spoon whitefish chunks and about 2/3 cup salsa onto a double layer of tortillas. Fold over to serve.
