Good-quality tomato sauce and bottled clam juice (or seafood bouillon) make this bouillabaisse super quick and tasty. Rouille is a variation on France’s popular aïoli and this easy cheaters version can be put together while the stew is simmering. Stir a dollop into your bowl to add creamy richness.

Ingredients


         For the Tacos:

  • 1-1½ pounds rockfish fillet 
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Flour tortillas
  • Hard corn shells
    For the Avocado Crema:
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup crema or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
    ¼ teaspoon salt
  • For the Corn & Tomato Salsa (pro-tip: make a double recipe to eat with chips)
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • ⅓ cup red onion, diced
  • 1-2 teaspoons lime juice, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
    Additional Toppings:
  • Queso fresco
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Pickled jalapeños
  • Sliced avocado
  • Pinto beans
  • Lime wedges
  • Tortilla chips, for extra salsa

Directions

MAKE SALSA

Heat oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add corn kernels and saute for 4-5 minutes until the corn kernels are a little caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, cilantro and cooled corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

MAKE AVOCADO CREMA

Place avocado, crema, lime juice, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth.

COOK ROCKFISH

Season fish with onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salt & pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering. Add fish and cook until seared on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove fish to a platter for serving.

MAKE A TACO BAR

Set out the fish platter, tortillas, salsa, avocado crema, and other optional toppings, and have everyone dig in!
