Grilled Fish Tacos with Strawberry Avocado Salsa and Lime Crema

These summery Grilled Fish Tacos with fresh Strawberry Avocado Salsa and Lime Crema are a healthy meal bursting with flavor that the whole family will love!

I'm in a serious relationship with our new grill, you guys.

It makes EVERYTHING taste a zillion times better with so little effort. Grilled asparagus is my absolute fave followed closely by grilled sweet taters.

I'm a changed woman now that I've laid mouth on grilled sweet potatoes, I'm tellin' you. Now I adore tacos as much if not more than grilled things so it should come as no surprise that grilled fish tacos are my new favorite summery dinner.

Jeff and I have been really appreciating spending time outdoors as a way to disconnect and unwind in the evenings; so making dinner outside on the grill has been a little something we look forward to each night.

Now let's talk feeeesh! This month I'm excited to be partnering with the Seafood Nutrition Partnership to spread the word about my pledge to enjoy sustainable seafood two times a week (#Seafood2xWk) in an approachable, heart-healthy way.

That's what I'm all about! The Seafood Nutrition Partnership aims to reduce the risks of heart disease, improve baby brain wellness and increase memory for seniors by educating us about the health benefits of sustainable seafood and building awareness of seafood’s essential nutritional value.

We all know fish can be pricey at times, so to keep this meal affordable, I used individually frozen wild cod fillets from Costco that I defrosted and it worked like a charm.

Similar to frozen fruit, frozen fish is often time more fresh than what you'd buy at the fish counter because it's frozen right at the peak of freshness.

I love that the packaging has the blue label from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), meaning that it can be traced back to a sustainable source.

When buying farmed fish, be on the look for the Best Aquaculture Practices certification. I always look at the country of origin of the fish as well and use my best judgement regarding the sourcing.

Having these sustainability stamps makes it even easier to find tasty and sustainable seafood.

Now don't let the ingredient list on this recipe scare you. Everything comes together in minutes and it's a super simple recipe overall.

The strawberry avocado mint salsa is a unique combination that I guarantee will make your taste buds extra joyous. If you don't have strawberries, pineapple would also be delightful.

I used Greek yogurt for the crema but if you're dairy-free you could use soaked cashews or your favorite dairy-free yogurt. Tip: if you have extra mint, throw it in your water bottle for added flavor!

For all of you people sans grills, have no fear! You can easily make these in the oven and they'll be just as tasty. Simply cook the fish in the oven until flaky per the recipe instructions.

I hope this recipe encourages you to sit back and enjoy a long, relaxing meal outdoors with those you love most. Tis' the season!
