Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay the filet skin side down on the parchment paper and season with salt.
- Make the BBQ sauce. In a small sauce pan, combine all the ingredients over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes occasionally stirring. If the sauce starts to stick to the bottom of the pan, turn down the heat. Transfer to a blender or using a hand blender, blend until the chipotle pepper and ingredients are a smooth, thick sauce.
- Cook the fish. Pour ¾ of the chipotle bbq sauce over the fish and spread with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Cook the fish in a 400°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until and internal temperature of 145°F is reached. While the fish is cooking, prepare any taco toppings you want.
- Make the fish tacos. Once the fish is cooked, the flesh of the fillet will easily lift for the skin with a spoon, fork, or knife. Cut into bite sized pieces and assemble your tacos.
Notes
- For a fast short cut on the bbq sauce, you can take your favorite bbq sauce you already have and simmer it with the chipotle in adobo and 2 tablespoons of water then blend.
