Lemon Lime Cilantro Fish Tacos
Tilapia is so versatile it’s often been called the Meryl Streep of the ocean! It is a great foil for strong flavors and these easy lemon lime and cilantro fish tacos are no exception to this rule. This quick, protein packed weeknight dish is a boon if you are tired from treatment or simply strapped for time. If you can leave the fish to marinate for 30 minutes, it will taste even better.Try it!

I like fish tacos for a BBQ. Just put the marinated chunks of tilapia onto an open foil packet and quickly cook on the grill.
You can  use any kind of firm, mild white fish to make this dish, think cod, hake, or haddock.
Not everyone likes cilantro. If that’s your case, chop up a mix of half flat leaf parsley and half mint.
