- ½ medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 serrano chile, seeds removed if desired, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems

Directions for Tacos
In a food processor or blender, combine ¼ of the onion, the garlic, lime juice, cumin and ½ teaspoon salt. Process to a smooth puree. Place the fish fillets in a non-aluminum baking dish. Using a spoon, smear the marinade over both sides of the fish. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
Heat a gas grill to medium-high or light a charcoal fire and let it burn just until the coals are covered with gray ash.
Remove the fish from the marinade and gently shake off the excess. Oil the fish well on both sides, and lay it on the grill. Grill, turning once, until lightly browned and almost flaking, about 1 ½ to 2 minutes per side.
Break the fish into large pieces and sprinkle with cilantro and lime juice.
