Instructions

1. Step 1: In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb white fish fillets cut into 4 portions and marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the mango salsa by mixing 1 cup diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Remove fish from marinade, let excess drip off, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until fish flakes easily with a fork and has a slight golden crust.
4. Step 4: Warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet or oven wrapped in foil for 2 minutes until pliable.
5. Step 5: Assemble tacos by placing cooked fish portions on each tortilla and topping with generous spoonfuls of mango salsa. Serve immediately for a fresh tropical meal.
