This is a great spring and summer dish, I love the light, fresh cabbage slaw. It goes great on any taco, burrito, etc. or it tastes just amazing all by its little self. 😀
Start off by making this easy homemade tartar sauce and set aside.
Next chop up the cabbage, tomatoes, green onions, and fresh cilantro. I didn’t have green onions so I used a white onion, it was good but green onions are better. 🙂
Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and stir.
Take a little taste and add salt and/or pepper if needed.
Now cook up the fish of your choice. I salt and pepper tilapia fillets and cook them on medium heat in a little olive oil for about 4 minutes on each side.
Place a half of a cooked tilapia fillet on a warm soft taco shell (flour or corn). Place half a cup or so of the cabbage slaw on the fish and top it off with the tartar sauce!
So delicious, so fresh tasting, and so easy. The fresh cilantro makes my heart sing!!
- 4 cups cabbage copped into small pieces
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced green onions
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- enough fish fillets to feed your family, I use a half a tilapia fillet per taco
- corn or flour tortillas (6-inch)
- Put the cabbage, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro into a large bowl add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and stir well. Take a taste to see if you need more salt or pepper.
- Lightly salt and pepper the fish and cook on medium heat in a little olive oil for about four minutes on each side. When fish flakes easily with a fork it is done.
- Place a piece of fish on a warm tortilla add ¼ to ½ cup of the cabbage slaw and top it off with some homemade tartar sauce!
