It’s fishy, but it’s good



We’ve been on a bit of a fish kick lately. And one way to ensure we’re getting enough of those good fats from our piscine friends is to get into a dietary routine. So every Tuesday we’re having fish tacos. Get it? Taco Tuesday.
The recipe is very simple and it’s super easy to make. We buy two fresh fillets of halibut; bake it in the over on 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Because we’re putting them in tacos, the fish should be flaky and fall apart. Then we put it in corn taco shells, top it with coleslaw and voila. You can add salsa, but I find the texture and tang of the coleslaw is enough for my taste buds. We have it for the two of us, but it could easily feed three to four. Here’s the recipe: Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 pieces (about 300 g each) halibut, boneless skinless
Spritz olive oil
1 bag (350 g) shredded cabbage
2 heaping tbsp real mayonnaise or coleslaw dressing (or Veganase if you’re Gwynnie)
8 small soft corn tacos (I prefer corn over tortilla wraps because it adds a bit of colour)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray baking sheet with olive oil. I also line the paper with tinfoil to make cleanup easier. Place fish on baking sheet and cook for about 10 minutes. It should be flaky and easily beaks apart. Turn over, and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until desired texture. Break up fish pieces and put in a bowl with a serving spoon.
Meanwhile, put cabbage in a bowl and add mayo or dressing. Mix well.
To serve, place bowls of coleslaw, fish and corn tacos on table ready to assemble.


Bon appetit!
