A Twist on Fish Tacos: The Black Garlic Infusion
When it comes to fish tacos, it's all about fresh flavors and vibrant textures. But what if we took this classic dish and gave it a sophisticated twist? Enter black garlic, a fermented garlic with a sweet and syrupy taste that adds an umami-packed punch to any dish. Here's how you can elevate your fish taco game with the addition of organic black garlic.
The Ingredients:
Fresh fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, our favorite is salmon)
Organic Black garlic cloves
Organic Red cabbage
Organic Fresh limes
Organic Cilantro
Organic Corn tortillas
Organic Avocado
Organic Sour cream

The Black Garlic Magic:
Black garlic is the secret ingredient that will set your tacos apart. To prepare it, you'll want to mash the cloves into a paste. This can be mixed into mayonnaise or sour cream to create a rich, flavorful sauce to drizzle over your final dish. Squeeze half a lime into the sauce as well.
Preparing the Fish:
Season the fish fillets with a mixture of chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. For an extra layer of flavor, rub a bit of the black garlic paste onto each fillet. Grill or pan-fry the fish until it's cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
The Slaw:
Combine thinly sliced red cabbage with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a dash of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. The crispness of the slaw will complement the soft texture of the fish perfectly.
The Assembly:
Warm your corn tortillas on the grill or in a pan. Spread a spoonful of the black garlic sauce on the tortilla, add a piece of the fish, and top it with the tangy slaw. Slices of avocado add creaminess, and a dollop of sour cream brings everything together. The drizzle your black garlic glaze/sauce over the final dish.
The Final Touch:
Serve your tacos with extra lime wedges on the side. The zesty lime juice will cut through the richness of the robust organic black garlic and sour cream, balancing the dish beautifully.
