    Today, we're bringing Taco Tuesday next level. Our fresh Fish Tacos with Corn & Nectarine Salsa are quick, colorful, and LOADED with flavor. Tender, flaky fish with a crispy sear, topped off with a sweet and zesty salsa, makes for an unforgettable dish you'll enjoy all summer long.

    This post is in partnership with Raley's O-N-E Market. All opinions expressed are our own.

    Beyond making simple and delicious meals, Stephen and I are passionate about sourcing our ingredients seasonally, and locally, whenever possible. We strive to support our community farmers which, in turn, helps our suppliers and economy. That is why we were thrilled to learn about the newest project coming to the Raley's line of grocery stores: the Raley's O-N-E Market.

    Not Your Average Market

    The Raley's O-N-E (standing for Organic, Nutrition, Education) Market, located in Truckee, California, is a store unlike any other. It is comprised of highly curated, sustainably sourced, and wholesome products designed to provide consumers with healthier options. They have all your everyday items, made with better-for-you ingredients. Want produce? Just delivered from local farms. Fresh seafood? How about wild, sustainably caught, and 3rd party certified? Craving chips, ice cream, and soda? They've got it too - minus the artificial colors, sweeteners, and high fructose corn syrup. The Raley's O-N-E market sets out to guide consumers towards healthier options by offering healthier options right at your fingertips.

    In addition to their products, Raley's O-N-E has created color coded signage to help guide consumers towards healthier options. Tags notify customers about products meeting special dietary needs (whole grain, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc.) as well those as high/low in added sugar. The store also has an on-site dietitian to assist customers with food selection and answer any questions that may arise during the trip.

    Fresh Fish Tacos

    After having a chance to visit the store ourselves, we couldn't wait to get shopping, and cooking! This recipe uses 100% ingredients sourced from the Raley's O-N-E Market. We sought out seasonal produce and fresh fish just delivered that morning to bring you a simple, and flavorful, summer dish.

    Fish - we selected wild caught Hawaiian mahi mahi for it's mild flavor and firm, yet buttery texture, perfect for tacos. You can sub cod, halibut, or any favorite white fish in its place. Not into fish? Chicken is another tasty substitute.

    The Perfect Sear - The key to getting a good crispy sear (without overcooking your fish) is to ensure your pan is hot BEFORE placing your fish. A properly preheated and oiled pan will ensure a good sear without sticking. We recommend using a cast iron skillet and using a high heat oil like avocado oil for best results.

    A hot pan is KEY to getting a good sear without sticking. A lightly oiled cast iron pan is our preferred way to go!

    Fruit - Nectarines offer a sweet and tart combo that lends itself perfectly to fruit salsa. Peaches, plums, cherries, and kiwi can offer other fun and fruity variations! Another summertime favorite is our Strawberry Mango Salsa.

    Veggies - we used a mix of bell peppers and corn but any fresh veggies will do. Zucchini, crookneck squash, and tomatoes, are other delicious additions.
