A favorite and very healthy food in our household is fish so I am always looking for ways to create another great meal. Now that summer is fast approaching and the activities do not seem to slow down and we have had a lot of fish. Both because my hubby went on a fishing trip and brought home several pounds and because it is quick, easy and a light meal when running around to the next sport. Last nights fish tacos had no mayo-based dressing just a light lime vinaigrette and a grilled striper. I have done similar recipes with the original beer battered cod, encrusted tilapia or grilled white fish. All are amazing.
Grilled Striper Fish Tacos:
- 1 lb Striper ( any fish will work)
- Corn tortillas
- Cole slaw mix
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2-3 limes
- red pepper paste
- 1T red wine vinegar
- avocado
- salt and pepper to taste
Season your fish with salt and pepper. In a non-stick pan sprayed with coconut oil grill your fish. Make sure you do not over cook your fish. It should be translucent in the center. This only take 8-10 mins tops depending on how thick your fish is. My striper was pretty thick.
While fish is cooking, in a small bowl combine oil, lime juice, red pepper paste and vinegar to make a vinaigrette. Take a couple handfuls of cole slaw mix and combine with the vinaigrette.
In a small non stick pan heat up your corn tortillas, then start assembling. Tortilla, cole slaw, fish and avocado.
For me 1 taco and a salad is enough. My family likes to have black beans with theirs.
Hope you enjoy.
