Nothing says summer like a delicious seafood dish loaded with fresh, local ingredients. When you can’t dine on the outdoor deck at James Landing Grille, you can still indulge in its fresh-caught flavors by whipping up our go-to Swordfish Tacos. It’s a taste that can best be described as summer wrapped in a tortilla.
Preparation:
- 8 oz of sword fish, sliced into 3 long pieces
- 1 lime zested and Juice
- 1 tsp of Southwest seasoning
- 1 shallot
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ bunch cilantro minced
- 1 TBS oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Marinade sword fish with the above ingredients for a couple of hours. Grill the sword fish, be careful not to overcook.
- 1 cup of shredded red cabbage
- 1 pinch of cumin
- 1 pinch of coriander
- 2 limes zested and juiced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 TBS oil
Combine all the above ingredients and let sit a few hours until cabbage has wilted down some. Pour out excess liquid.
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 bunch of minced cilantro (stems included)
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Mix the above ingredients to make the cilantro sour cream
To assemble arrange three tortillas on a plate and add the red cabbage, making sure to squeeze any excess liquid from the cabbage. Place cooked fish on top of cabbage and finish with a drizzle of the cilantro lime sour cream. James Landing Grille serves the tacos with Pico de gallo, avocado, and cilantro sprouts.
