1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

1 small garlic clove, peeled and pressed

2 Tbs. fresh cilantro, chopped

 

Fresh Tomato Salsa:
1 large fresh garden tomato, chopped 
1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil

Combine the oil, orange juice, lime juice, seasonings, and cilantro, and marinate the fish for 30 minutes or so. 

Preheat the grill. Wrap the fish in foil and grill on medium heat for 15-20 minutes – until cooked through.
Meanwhile, assemble the Fresh Tomato Salsa by combining all ingredients.

Once the fish is done, remove any bones and break apart gently with a fork or knife.

To assemble the tacos, select an appropriate “shell” and stuff with the fabulous fish. 

 

Top with garnishings of choice.

 

Now as you savor the simple complexity of fresh flavors, imagine yourself on the beach, basking in the joy of all life has to offer.
