Fish Tacos with Jalapeno Cabbage Slaw

Thursday, July 09, 2015

From our skinny table to yours ...

Is there anything better than fish tacos in the summer?  Fresh fish, summer slaw, creamy avocado, fruity mango, a skinny margarita & a gorgeous sunset is absolute perfection to us.


We top our fish tacos with jalapeno cabbage slaw and it is so so good.  Crisp & crunchy from the cabbage, spicy from the jalapeno with the perfect tang to finish thanks to lime zest, fresh lime juice & a splash of red wine vinegar.


We used wild caught cod but any fresh, wild caught mild white fish works perfect!  We marinated it in the fresh zest and juice of a lemon & lime and seasoned it simply with himalayan pink sea salt & freshly ground black pepper.


We wrapped our fresh fish in a crisp lettuce wrap and topped it with our slaw with fresh mango & avocado to finish.  Hope you enjoy this one!

  1. I was just thinking the other day how badly I wanted to try to make fish tacos. I live on the east coast so we are all about the crabs here and you can't find a good fresh fish taco out. Can't wait to try this!
