Tilapia Fish Taco



The key to maintaining a healthy mind and spirit is to take care of your body. Lately I've been accomplishing this by cooking meals everyday and daily exercise. Damn. I feel so good. :)

Tonight I had a craving for fish tacos. The salsa recipe is from my dear friend, Diana. Love you, girl.

Marinade:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
5 limes freshly juiced
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon zesty powder blend
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay™
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
12oz tilapia fillets

Salsa
1/2 onion, diced
2 jalepanos, diced
3+ tomatoes, diced
1 bunch cilantro, diced
6 limes freshly juiced
salt

Toppings
1 (10 ounce) package tortillas
1 small head cabbage, cored and shredded
2 avocados sliced
2 limes, cut in wedges

Directions

1. To make the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, honey, garlic, zesty blend, chili powder, seafood seasoning, and black pepper in a bowl until blended. Place the tilapia in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover, and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.

2. To make the salsa, combine the onions, jalepanos, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt for taste.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove fish from marinade and pour in baking dish (more moisture add a few spoonfuls of marinate to fish). Bake fish in oven until it easily flakes with a fork (usually about 12-15 minutes).

4. Heat the tortilla in nonstick pan. Add shredded cabbage and flaked fish to tortilla. Top with avocado and salsa mix. Squeeze a couple more lime wedges for an extra kick.

ENJOY!!! I love Tilapia Thursdays!
