By popular request, healthy fish tacos! Last Friday I posted a question on Facebook asking what people liked to eat or drink to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Well, I got lots of feedback! Yesterday I posted a guacamole recipe, the number one favorite. Guacamole would make an awesome topping to these delicious fish tacos!

These were so easy to make. I had made the broccoli slaw the night before, which only took about 15 minutes. When I came home from work I quick cooked the fish, put in a warm corn tortilla and topped it with the broccoli slaw. A healthy dinner done in 10 minutes. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

I’m submitting this recipe to the Healthline’s “Iron Chef” Heart-Healthy recipe challenge. It’s the first time I’ve entered a recipe contest, so I am excited! They gave a list of heart healthy ingredients and I had to use at least 3. So fish tacos it is!

Broccoli Slaw Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded broccoli slaw
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
• 1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly chopped
• 1/4 cup apple cider or white vinegar
• 1 lime, juiced and zest
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• Splash of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Broccoli Slaw Directions

1. Mix broccoli slaw, carrots, jalapeño and onion in a large bowl. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl mix vinegar, lime juice and zest, honey, olive oil, and salt, pepper, and cilantro. Add to broccoli slaw mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.

Halibut Ingredients

• 1 pound halibut and cut into 2 inch filets, rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
• 1 tablespoon oil olive
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

Halibut Directions

1. Brush a large skillet (I like cast iron) with olive oil. Heat skillet over medium high.
2. Brush each side of halibut with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, and some salt and pepper.
3. Place the halibut in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until fish starts to flake.
4. To make tacos heat corn or flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave until warm and soft. Add flaked halibut and broccoli slaw. Although I think it tastes great just as it is you could add your favorite toppings such as avocados, tomatoes, or a dollop of greek yogurt.

Enjoy!
