Instructions

  1. To marinate the fish: Combine lime juice, olive oil, chipotle powder, cumin, paprika, and salt. Place the trout in a gallon freezer bag and pour seasoning into the bag, seal bag, and shake well. Marinate 20 minutes.
  2. To prepare the avocado-yogurt sauce: In a food processor, combine avocado, yogurt, lime juice, cumin, cilantro, salt, and water and pulse until smooth. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Heat a skillet (cast iron works great) over medium-high heat. Sauté trout using 2 tbsp. butter or oil, skin side down until golden and crispy. Flip and cook 15-30 seconds more. Remove from pan, flake meat off, and place in a dish.
  4. Warm tortilla shell in a small skillet for 30-60 seconds.
  5. Evenly divide cooked trout and place on tortilla shell. Top with avocado yogurt sauce, shredded cabbage, cilantro, and lime juice if desired.
