Fish Taco – a healthy and quick everyday dinner

Level: Easy
Total Time: 30 min

Fish Taco is a regular dish on our table at least every fortnight. It is one of those dishes that everyone loves and that you put on the table in 30 minutes. As a bonus this dish is healthy and as such a perfect dish for the new year after a couple of weeks of indulgence. You quickly chop the vegetables, mix greek yogurt with some spices, season your fish and bake for 20 minutes. And that’s it!

I initially discovered the fish taco recipe on Natasha’s kitchen blog. For the sauce mixture, I am using a Greek Yogurt 0%, but here you can use whatever you have or like (any yogurt, creme fraiche, sour cream…). You can also use the fish type you prefer. I tend to vary with what my local fish store offers but I usually pick a white, firm fish and one that is not too strong in taste.

THE TIPS TO SUCCEED

1: Season to your taste or make part of the fish and sauce less spicy to adjust for different taste around the table.

2: Check the fish regularly during baking. Serve it as soon as it is cooked through.

Let’s get started

Ingredients

The Fish

• 600 g Fish filets
• ½ tsp Ground cumin
• ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Butter optional

Sauce

• 200 ml Greek Yogurt 0%
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• ½ tsp Garlic powder
• ¼-1 tsp Sriracha sauce – adjust to your taste

Tortillas and toppings

• 8 pcs Big Wheat Tortillas or 12 small
• ⅙ pcs Purple Cabbage can be replaced with salade
• 12 pcs Cherry tomatoes
• 2 pcs Avocado
• 1 pcs Spring onion or ½ red onion
• 1 small can Mais
• ½ bunch Cilantro
• 120 g Grated cheese

How to do it?

The Fish:

Put the oven to heat at 180°c.

Mix the cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

Sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the fish and place the filets in a baking paper covered ovenproof dish. The mixture is quite spicy so you can sprinkle less on the filets for those who are reluctant to spicy food.

Top the fish with the olive oil and butter in small pieces and bake until cooked through. Depending on the fish the cooking time can vary from 10-20 minutes.

The Sauce:

Mix all the ingredients together and keep it in the fridge until serving.

Tortillas and toppings

Cut the vegetables and place them in individual bowls

Heat the tortillas in the microwave or oven
