Fish Tacos w/ Pico De Gallo
4 white fish fillets (Tilapia, Sole, etc.)
1/2 cup flour
1 packet of Good Seasons Italian Dressing (use as a dry rub)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large tomato (diced)
1/2 cup frozen white corn (my favorite food on earth)
1 stalk of green onion (sliced thinly)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1 jalepeno pepper (seeded and finely chopped)
1 tablespoon lime/lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
tortillas
cheese
sour cream
Wash fish and run your hands over the spine area to make sure that there are no bones. Use tweezers to remove bones if any are present. Place fish on a plate and sprinkle the italian dressing dry rub over both sides of each piece (you may not need the whole packet). Let the fish marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a frying pan and add olive oil. Dredge marinated fish in flour and pan fry both sides of the fish till golden brown. (approx 3-5 minutes). Move fish to a warm plate and serve with tortillas, cheese, sour cream and Pico De Gallo (see recipe below)
Pico De Gallo: Mix tomato, green onion, jalepeno, cilantro, white corn, salt, pepper and lime juice in a bowl and serve.

Good Seasons Italian Dressing (dry rub) packets are a pantry staple for me. I use it on flank steak that I put in fajitas as well as on chicken. If you prefer you can substitute garlic salt or make your own dry rub : )

I looooove having a place to brain dump my recipes. I tried your method of soaking the fish (actually it was shrimp) in milk to get rid of the "fishy" smell and it worked so well!! I think this method actually brought out the sweetness in the shrimp.
