Fish Tacos with Creamy Kale Slaw recipe by Anna, fertility dietitian

SERVES: 2 | TIME: 15 MIN

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 filets flaky white fish (rockfish, flounder, halibut, tilapia or sole)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oile
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Spices:

  • 1 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp cayenne + 1 Tbsp cumin + 1 Tbsp smoked paprika

Slaw:

  • 2 cups shredded kale
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage

Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded

PREPARATION

  • Combine spices into blend, then rub over both sides of fish.
  • Mix all dressing ingredients in blender or food processor until creamy. Toss half of the kale and cabbage with half of the dressing, then set aside while fish cooks. Save the other half of slaw & dressing for lunch on Sunday.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add one fish filet and cook 3-4 min per side. (Cook time will depend on thickness of filet.) When finished, fish will turn opaque through center and easily flake when poked with a fork.
  • Heat 2 tortillas, then assemble tacos and top with slaw + 1/4 of an avocado per taco.
  • Extra fresh cilantro & lime wedges make great toppings.
