Ingredients

Mango Salsa Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes peeled and diced
½ cup finely diced red onion
1-2 jalapeños seeds and membrane removed, finely diced
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
½ teaspoon kosher salt

For the Fish

1½ pounds cod fillet
1½ tablespoons neutral oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Revolution Barbecue Nashville Hot Chicken Rub
8 taco-sized flour tortillas

Directions

Prepare the Mango Salsa

In a medium bowl, combine diced mangoes, red onion, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and kosher salt. Mix well and set aside.

Marinating the Fish

Place the cod fillet in a gallon-sized zip-top bag.
Add neutral oil, honey, and Nashville Hot Chicken Rub to the bag.
Seal the bag and gently massage the fish to ensure it's evenly coated with the marinade.

Grilling the Fish

Preheat your grill to 450°F (232°C).
Carefully place the marinated fish on the grill.
Grill the fish for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side. The duration may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is done when it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Flip the fish carefully to avoid breaking.

Preparing the Tortillas

After removing the fish from the grill and allowing it to rest, place tortillas on the grill.
Heat them until they are pliable and show grill marks.

Assembling the Tacos

Cut the grilled fish into 1½-inch pieces.
Distribute the fish evenly among the grilled tortillas.
Top each taco with a generous amount of mango salsa.
