You want the perfect fish taco sauce? And not the knock-off rubio’s mix of yogurt and mayo (seriously, that’s the recipe— equal parts plain yogurt and mayo); but an upscale tasty “white” sauce that pairs perfectly with fish and adds the creaminess you want to contrast with that crispy exterior? This is it.

Nothing comes close to using avocados to make a crema (fancy word for flavored sour cream). Sounds complex, but is about as easy as it comes.

Ingredients:

2 avocados, pitted and peeled

3/4 cup of sour cream

juice of 1 1/2 limes

1 tsp trader joe’s onion salt

1/4 tsp white pepper

1 tsp sea salt

Directions:

After preparing the avocados, rinse under cold water, to help preserve green color.

In a small bowl, mash avocado with a fork. Add in sour cream, lime juice, onion salt, salt and pepper. Continue using a fork until ingredients are incorporated.

If you are not planning on using immediately, lay plastic wrap directly on top of crema, and press down gently to completely cover the surface, so that the mixture has no exposure to oxygen (this will further prevent browning), and refrigerate.
