Notes
  • The Idaho Wine Commission suggests pairing a glass of Albariño from Snake River Winery with these Idaho trout tacos.
  • Serving Size: 3 tacos
  • Substitute Idaho tortilla with Idaho-grown butterhead lettuce for a delicious, carb-conscious taco alternative. 

Steps

  • Place trout filets in large shallow pan.

  • Combine garlic, cumin, chili powder and salt and pepper and sprinkle over fish filets.

  • Set aside in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

  • Combine cabbage, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl, squeeze with juice from one lime. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste, and adjust seasoning.

  • Heat grill to medium-high heat. Brush with oil. Cook fish about 3 – 5 minutes per side until done.

  • Remove trout from grill, squeeze lime juice over cooked filets and break into bite sized pieces.

  • Heat tortillas briefly on warm grill.

  • Divide each trout filet between 3 tortillas (or leaves of lettuce).

  • Top each fish taco with cabbage-onion slaw, sour cream and salsa.
