Fish and citrus fruits is a classic combination in Mexico. No one would ever think of eating fish tacos without a little lemon juice. Grapefruit is another citrus fruit that goes great with fish, especially if we’re talking about a colorful spicy salsa with red onion, fresh cilantro, serrano pepper and grapefruit. I paired it with these baked tilapia tacos for a fresh and delicious dinner!
