INSTRUCTIONS
Cook's notes: Wahoo's spicy green sauce showcases roasted Anaheim chilies, cilantro and fat-free mayonnaise. Their sauce is proprietary, but the standard recipe at Mexican fish taco stands, according to "Amor y Tacos" by Deborah Schneider, combines 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro and a pinch of salt. Pico de gallo is fresh tomato-based salsa that most often includes white onion, chilies, lime juice and fresh cilantro. Wahoo's fish tacos incorporate an Asian chili sauce, a mix that Wing's father used in his restaurant. You can substitute commercially-prepared Asian chili sauce.
Season fish fillets with garlic salt. Heat grill. Clean grill and brush with a little canola oil. Grill fish, 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on heat of grill and thickness of fish.
Heat tortillas one at a time, using gas flame and turning with tongs, or heat in a dry skillet (not nonstick). Stack two tortillas, one on top of the other. Place a 2-ounce serving of fish on top. Sprinkle with cheese. Spoon on some Chinese hot sauce (such as Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce); top with cabbage. Top with pico de gallo to taste. Serve with lime wedges and accompany with Brazilian-style white rice and black beans.
