Grilled Cod and Mango Salsa Tacos

---

Serves 4 (2 tacos per serving)

Ingredients

For the Mango Salsa:

• 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup watermelon, diced
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste for spice)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 lime, juiced
• Salt to taste

For the Grilled Cod:

• 4 cod fillets (whole or large chunks)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 soft flour tortillas

Directions:

1. Prepare the Mango Salsa:
   • In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, watermelon, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
   • Add lime juice and salt, then toss gently to mix. Adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
2. Grill the Cod:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   • Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Place the cod on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a slight char.
   • Remove the cod from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, if desired, break into large chunks for easier taco assembly.
3. Warm the Tortillas:
   • Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are warm and pliable.
4. Assemble the Tacos:
   • On each tortilla, lay a portion of the grilled cod. Top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
   • Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

• Accompany these tacos with a side of lime wedges, extra salsa, and a creamy avocado sauce or a dollop of sour cream for those who desire an extra layer of flavor.
• Pair with a chilled glass of white wine or a light beer to complement the dish’s flavors.
