Wild Alaska Cod Tacos with Cucumber Salsa
15 min
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup diced English/seedless cucumber
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup grape or pear tomatoes, halved, if desired
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh fennel, if desired
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic (or rice) vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 Wild Alaska Cod fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
- 4 medium (8 to 9-inch) tortillas OR flatbreads
- 1 cup (3 oz.) crumbled goat cheese
DIRECTIONS
- In a small bowl, combine cucumbers, green onion, tomatoes and fennel. In separate small bowl, blend vinegar, 1 Tablespoon oil, salt and pepper, to taste. Pour over cucumbers; set aside.
- Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Wild Alaska Cod under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of filets with remaining oil. Place fillets in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.
- Turn fillets over and season with thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes for frozen Wild Alaska Cod or 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Remove from heat and break into large chunks.
- To serve, divide Wild Alaska Cod among tortillas. Sprinkle on goat cheese and top with cucumber salsa.
