  • Fish (or Shrimp) Taco Sauce

    Thought I would post this for all you fish taco fans. This stuff is f'in unreal. I've made it about 50 times and still crave it. Use with any white fish or prawns. I like cod or halibut. Add your favorite Pico De Gallo.

    Fish Taco Sauce (credit to SoupAddict,com)
    Ingredients

    1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream (Greek yogurt is delicious as a substitute if you're not a fan of sour cream)
    1/2 cup reduced fat mayonnaise (you can use full fat, but, the spices are so delicious, you won't miss that particular flavor contribution)
    1 lime, cut in half
    1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
    1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon capers, minced
    1 hot pepper of your choice, seeded and minced (jalapeno is delicious, as are the cherry bomb poppers I used in this batch).
    1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

    Instructions

    In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and mayonnaise until well blended.
    Squeeze the juice from one lime half into the fish taco sauce mixture, then whisk thoroughly. You'll want the consistency of a pourable, creamy salad dressing. If still too thick, add more lime juice from the other half. If too runny, add sour cream.
    Add all of the spices, whisking to mix thoroughly. Add the capers, minced pepper and cilantro, and whisk thoroughly.
    Cover the bowl with wrap and refrigerate the fish taco sauce for at least one hour — the longer the better.
    Serve chilled. Spoon white sauce over fish tacos, or add into taco salads or rice bowls.

    I also have one kinda like that. I don't use Mayo, just sour cream and a bit of milk. They don't use Mayo down South. I like Mayo, but I tried it with it the first time, seemed odd.

    Ohh add one Adobo chili. One from a small can they sell at the store. Great smoky flavor.

        I usually make the Rachael Ray sauce, cause that's what the wife unit likes. Will try to remember this one and sneak it in on her some night

        Thanks for the post.

          Enjoy, Sue and I really like it. I'd use a straw but people would look at me weird(er). :0)
