Ingredients
1 lb Wild-Caught Cod or Mahi-Mahi
4 Cloves Fresh Garlic (Minced)
2 tbsp Avocado Oil
2 Fresh Limes (Juiced and Zested)
8 Organic Corn Tortillas
2 Cups Shredded Purple Cabbage
1 Large Avocado (Sliced)
1/2 Cup Fresh Cilantro (Chopped)
Sea Salt and Black Pepper
Instructions
- Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and cut into one-inch bite-sized pieces
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, minced garlic, lime zest, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss fish pieces in the marinade for at least 10 minutes
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side until opaque
- Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet over low heat for 30 seconds per side
- In a small bowl, toss shredded cabbage with a splash of lime juice and a pinch of sea salt
- Assemble the tacos by placing fish on each tortilla and topping with cabbage slaw, avocado slices, and cilantro
Notes
Use fresh garlic for maximum flavor and health benefits.
Do not overcrowd the skillet when searing the fish to allow even cooking.
Assemble tacos just before serving to avoid sogginess.
