Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, mix the cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, pepper, and half the salt (1/4 teaspoon) together.
2. Place a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the white part of the green onion, red bell pepper, garlic and corn to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the corn begins to brown. Stir constantly.
3. In the same pan, add the tomatoes, vinegar and remaining salt to the pan. Cook until the relish starts to thicken.
4. Stir in the lime juice, honey, cilantro and green parts of the onions to the pan. Pour in a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
5 . Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and evenly coat the pan. Add the fish and cook until golden brown on the under-side. Flip the fish over using a spatula and cook until brown.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan. Put a lid on and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook the fish until flaky, checking every 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Once the fish has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees remove from heat and break the fish up with a spatula.
8. While the fish is cooking, toast the tortillas. Place tortillas over a low flame for 1 to 2 minutes. Constantly check to make sure they aren't burning, but they should be slightly charred. Flip with tongs.
9. Assemble tacos by placing 2 tablespoons of corn relish, and 1/4 cup of fish into 8 toasted tortillas. Enjoy!
