Recipe: Soft Fish Tacos

Here’s a simple recipe for fish tacos that is light and satisfying.

The fish is seasoned with a rub that gives it just a bit of heat. The lettuce and avocado provide a refreshing balance between the pepper spice ingredients. We used organic corn tortillas from Vermont Tortilla Company, that’s made with just water, corn, and lime.

Ingredients:

Rub

• 1/2 tbsp paprika
• 1/2 tbsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp mustard powder
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Taco

• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• cod fish fillets
• tortillas
• lettuce, shredded
• avocado, cut into small pieces
• lime wedges

Directions

1. Put together the rub. Mix all the spices and seasoning in a small bowl. Rub the mix over both sides of the fish fillets. Store remaining rub in a spice jar or container.
2. Heat a skillet (medium-high heat) and add the oil.
3. Add the fish to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes each side, until it’s cooked through. Turn off heat.
4. Warm up the tortillas by placing them in a hot pan on the stove top, 10-20 seconds on each side.
5. Assemble taco as desired. Place fish in the tortilla and top with lettuce, avocado, and a drizzle of lime.
