1
For the relish: Put the garlic, pine nuts, serrano and some salt in a mortar and pestle and mash to a chunky, pesto-like consistency.
2
Add the cilantro and continue to mash; the pesto should be very coarse.
3
Put the avocados and lime juice in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4
Gently fold in the pesto until just combined, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.
5
For the crema: Heat a grill to high.
6
Toss the tomato halves with some canola oil and season with salt and pepper.
7
Grill until the tomatoes are charred and softened, turning once or twice, about 5 minutes total.
8
Combine the grilled tomatoes, vinegar and chipotles in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine.
9
Add the garlic, onions, cilantro, oregano and some salt and pepper and pulse until slightly smooth.
10
Put the yogurt in a medium bowl and swirl in some of the salsa, being careful not to stir it in completely.
11
For the slaw: Put the lemon juice, orange juice, honey, mustard, basil and some salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.
12
With the motor running, drizzle in the canola oil until emulsified.
13
Combine the Napa cabbage, red cabbage and carrot in a large bowl; add half of the dressing and toss to coat.
14
Season with salt and pepper; add more dressing if needed, reserving a little for fish.
15
For the rub: Combine the ancho powder, cinnamon, cumin, salt, brown sugar and black pepper in a bowl.
16
Mix to blend.
17
For the fish: Brush the top of the fish filets with canola oil, and sprinkle them with salt, pepper and about 3 tablespoons of the spice rub.
18
Let stand for 5 minutes, then grill the filets, spice-side down, over direct heat until the fish is lightly charred and comes away from the grill easily, about 2 minutes.
19
Flip and cook another 2 minutes to sear on the reverse side.
20
Move the fish over indirect heat, cover the grill, and cook until the fish is just cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes; the fish should be just firm when squeezed lightly on the sides.
21
Remove the fish to a platter and let rest for a few minutes.
22
While the fish rests, grill the tortillas over direct heat until slightly charred and just warm, about 5 seconds per side.
23
With a fork, flake the fish into large chunks.
24
Drizzle with the remaining slaw dressing and top with cilantro leaves.
25
Serve the fish family-style with the tortillas and butter lettuce (for wrapping), and the avocado relish, tomato crema, and cabbage slaw in bowls on the side.
