Fish Tacos! Yeah!

Hello everyone, I know I've been skimpy on the posts these days and I sure miss cooking, but these braces are slowing my culinary creativity way down!  I'm better this month.  I can eat the following recipe for Fish Tacos.  I simply love the combination of the mild lime flavor with the fish and the tomato and cabbage slaw.  It is satisfying and so very light.

Fish Tacos
  • 1/4 of a napa cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium tomato chopped very small
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • Kosher salt
  • 12 tortillas/taco shells (OPTIONAL)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless fish fillet, cut into 2 inch pieces (I usually buy what is fresh & available)
  • 1 Hass avocado
  • 1/2 cup fresh salsa
Toss the cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey and mayonnaise in a bowl. Season the slaw with salt.

To cook fish, mix flour and chili powder, dredge fish.  Use a parchment packet to cook on the grill or in the oven with lime and cilantro for about 7-10 minutes.  Season with salt.  Note you can also pan fry the fish, but it does add some fat.

Halve, pit and slice the avocado.

Serve fish, slaw and avocado with a lime slice!  You can also serve with rice, and kidney beans on the side.  But I like it without.  Yum, refreshing and filling.

*You can add a tortilla, but it adds salt and fat and carbs.  Fill the tortillas with the fish, avocado, slaw and serve with lime wedges.
