Ingredients

Cooking spray

2 pounds halibut or grouper fillets

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Bibb or green leaf lettuce leaves, for wrapping

1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped

1 cup cilantro leaves (stems removed)

3 sprigs fresh mint

3 tablespoons grainy mustard

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (eyeball it)

1 lime

Hot sauce, such as Tabasco

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

Preparation

Step 1
Heat a grill pan or nonstick skillet over high heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray. Place the fish on the grill pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until opaque. Transfer to a serving plate.
Step 2
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter. Place the jalapeño in a food processor with the cilantro, mint, mustard, and vinegar. Turn on the processor and stream in the EVOO, then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Break the fish into chunks and squeeze lime juice over the fish. Add a few dashes of hot sauce.
Step 4
Pile the fish in lettuce leaves and top each “taco” with the jalapeño cilantro sauce and chopped red onions.
