Healthy Fish Tacos
This Healthy Fish Tacos recipe captures all of the fresh flavors of a true Baja-style fish taco. Cod is lightly seasoned with salt and grilled (or broiled) until moist and flaky. Be aware that fish cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it until it’s done to your liking. If you’re ambitious, you can make fresh whole wheat tortillas, otherwise, you can pick up sprouted, whole-grain tortillas from the store and warm them on a flat pan before serving.
For toppings, I recommend adding shredded green cabbage, fresh Pico de Gallo or Peach and Jalapeno Salsa, and a lighter version of créma made with yogurt and lime juice. A squeeze of lime is the finishing touch.
