["For the Fish Marinade: Mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, coriander, paprika, salt and pepper together and marinate the fish for about an hour before cooking. The lime juice will help firm up the fish and help keep it from breaking up when you wrap it in the taco. While the fish is marinating, prepare the other items you want to use to finish the dish.", "For the Fresh Salsa: Put tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime, garlic, salt and pepper into a food processor and pulse until all of the ingredients are finely chopped. Refrigerate until ready to use.", "Preheat your grill to high. Place the fish in a foil ""boat"" with the top open, so the smoke can penetrate and flavor the fish. Cook for about 10 minutes, testing the fish for doneness. It should start to flake but be a little under cooked in center. Residual heat will finish cooking fish off the heat.", "While the fish is cooking, very lightly brush the taco shells with olive oil and warm them quickly over the fire. You want to toast them slightly, but not to the point of becoming brittle. If you have a warming rack, that's the place to do it.", "When the fish is done, put everything on platters and let people serve themselves."]
