Preparation 

Prep 45 m Ready In 45 m

  1. Grate 1 tsp. zest and squeeze 5 Tbsp. juice from limes. Combine 2 Tbsp. of the juice, 1 Tbsp. oil, chili powder, ¼ tsp. salt and ⅛ tsp. pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Place fish in a sealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Pour in the lime mixture, seal and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine raspberries, pineapple, green onion, jalapeno, the lime zest, 1 Tbsp. lime juice and the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, ¼ tsp. salt and ⅛ tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Combine yogurt and the remaining 2 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl.
  4. Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the fish (discard marinade) and cook, turning once, until it flakes easily, 4 to 6 minutes.
  5. Break the fish into bite-size pieces with a fork. Serve in tortillas topped with cabbage, the salsa, the yogurt mixture and cilantro, with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
