Ingredients
Ingredients for the Cod
- 1 pound deboned cod loins or thick filets
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil EVOO
- 1 lime zested then juiced
- 2 cloves garlic smashed
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- sea salt to taste
Ingredients for Cabbage Topping
- ½ head Savoy cabbage shredded
- 3 scallions thinly sliced
- 1 small jalapeno pepper minced
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup grape seed or canola oil
- sea salt to taste
- 1 avocado halved, pitted, scooped from the peel, and sliced thinly
- 8 flour or corn tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the fish: Cut the fish into equal pieces, say 3” square. No need to be exact.
- Combine the fish with the olive oil, lime zest and juice, garlic, paprika, and salt to taste in a medium bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate while you make the cabbage.
- Prepare the cabbage: In a medium bowl, whisk the lime juice, honey, and oil. Add the cabbage, scallions, and jalapeno. Season with some salt to taste.
- Mix this all together and let this sit for at least 15 minutes or longer.
- Heat the Foreman Grill to high.
- Cook the cod on the hot grill with the top closed for approximately 3 minutes. Check with a fork to see if it is white and opaque inside.
- Remove the fish to a plate and wipe the hot grill with a folded paper towel (carefully) to clean.
- Warm the tortillas, as many as will fit at a time, on the grill. It’s ok if they overlap.
- While they are warming, prepare the avocado strips.
- Assemble by placing a tortilla on a plate, then some fish, topped with the avocado, and finished with the cabbage. Fold over and enjoy with plenty of napkins.
Notes
- As mentioned above, you can skip the taco and slaw part of this recipe and just make the cod, especially if you are in the mood for a quick meal.
- If not making tacos, consider serving the cod over a bowl of quick-cooked, steaming rice with some scallions and freshly grated carrots.
