For the Fish:
- 1 pound fish of choice I used halibut
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
Orange Salsa:
- 2 oranges peeled, sectioned, and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- sea salt to taste
For Serving:
- 6 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 large avocado sliced
- 3 radishes thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped
Prepare the Fish
Drizzle the fish with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and use your hands to smear it over the full surface of the fish. In a small bowl, stir together the seasonings and sea salt. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fish (it's okay if you don't use all of it). If marinating for a long period of time, place fish in a zip lock bag and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Add the remaining olive oil (to a cast iron skillet and heat to medium-high. Once the skillet it fully hot, place the fish on it, skin-side up. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden-brown and crispy. Flip and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. (If using white fish, you can tell the fish is fully cooked when it's opaque, or the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F).
