This recipe is pretty much from The Paleo Diet Cookbook. It is simple and delicious. Give it a try!
Fish Tacos
4 6-ounce whitefish fillets (mahi mahi, tilapia, cod)
cayenne pepper, to taste
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 scallions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 Bibb or butter lettuce leaves
1 small avocado, thinly sliced
Season tilapia with cayenne pepper and set aside. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add pepper and scallions. Saute for three minutes, add garlic, and continue cooking for one minute.
Move veggies to sides of pan. Add fish to center of pan and cook for 5-10 minutes, turning once. Fish will be done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove fish from pan and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cover with veggies and sprinkle with cilantro. Scoop into lettuce leaves and top with avocado slices.
I served this with a simple homemade salsa:
In a food processor (or I used my handheld stick blender) combine the following ingredients and process until blended. Chill before serving.
Tomato Salsa
2 Tablespoons lime juice
2 Tablespoons diced red onion
2 Tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
