½ cup crème fraiche
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped fine
Pinch of lime zest
Juice of 2 limes
Pinch of cumin
2 teaspoons salt
For Tacos

For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until blended and creamy. Set aside.
In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add oil and cook onion and jalapeño, 3 to 5 minutes. Next, add fish and cook until almost done, 5 to 7 minutes. Then add salsa, cumin, lime juice; season with salt and cook until all liquid is gone and fish is cooked through.
Meanwhile, warm tortillas on gas burner (or in oven). Serve tacos with fish and sauce drizzled over.
