How to Prepare
🔥 Grilled: Season with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and lime. Grill over medium-high heat 4–5 minutes per side. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. The firm flesh holds up perfectly on the grill.
🍳 Pan-Fried: Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Sear in a hot skillet with oil for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Serve with rice, beans, and warm tortillas.
🍜 Soup & Caldos: Add medallions to a simmering tomato-chile broth with onion, garlic, and vegetables for a classic caldo de pargo — a beloved Mexican comfort dish.
🍫 Baked: Place in a baking dish with sliced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and olive oil. Bake at 400°F for 18–22 minutes until flaky and tender.
🌮 Fish Tacos: Fry or grill the medallions, flake the meat, and serve in corn tortillas with cabbage slaw, crema, and salsa roja.
